Located along the northern edge of Turkey, the Black Sea Region is becoming an evermore popular place to buy property. The Black Sea Region of Turkey is bordered by the Marmara Region to the west, the Central Anatolia Region to the south, and the Eastern Anatolia Region to the south-west. To the north, the Black Sea Region opens on to the Black Sea, giving the area its name, and creating vast expanses of golden, sandy beaches.
Many of the people living in the Black Sea Region of Turkey make their living from the land, and the area is famous for its crops, particularly corn. One third of the corn produced in Turkey is grown in the Black Sea Region. The Black Sea Region of Turkey has a mild, damp climate that makes farming very profitable, and almost every inch of free land is used for agricultural means. This peaceful, industrial corner of Turkey could be just what you’re looking for in a second or retirement home. The Black Sea Region has a relatively warm climate, with average winters temps of 7C. In summer, temperatures average around a comfortable 23C, with some mild humidity.
The most convenient way of travelling to the Black Sea Region will usually be to fly into Istanbul, then either use Turkey’s excellent bus or rail systems to reach the property you wish to view, buy or visit, or rent a car and drive on to your destination. You could also take a domestic flight from Istanbul to an airport closer to your area where your property or real estate is located.
Property in the Black Sea Region, as in all of Turkey, is approximately equivalent to that of Spain in the mid 1980s, and has a growing attraction to tourists and property owners alike. The cost of living in Turkey is between a fifth and a third less than in the UK, making the country and particularly the Black Sea Region, a very good choice for a second or retirement home. Properties along the sea front might bring in an return on investment if used to rent to holidaymakers, although, considering the Black Sea Region’s stunning views, you may well prefer to live there yourself.
