Turkey Homes are pleased to offer this traditional 3 bedroom apartment in Izmir for sale, located in the old city centre neighbourhood of Alsancak approximately 500m from the Gulf of Izmir coastline.
Izmir is the third largest city in Turkey, located in western Turkey north of Kusadasi and the Didim peninsula, vastly populated with a developing new city centre in Bornova that enjoys a wonderful coastal location on the Gulf of Izmir along with the nearby old city centre that also sits along the same shores.
Being a large city it offers everything from shopping malls, named hotels, universities, hospitals, schools and more, also hosting a huge shipping port exporting and importing various goods playing a huge role in Turkey's economy.
Izmir has also begun to be a bit of a hotspot for property investment for overseas buyers, due to its warmer climate and more favourable prices compared to Istanbul where property prices have soared in recent years, however with this influx of investors prices are rising fast in Izmir too, therefore, many property investors are purchasing apartments from off-plan projects in the Bornova area as developers offer under construction homes at low prices, though some home buyers prefer a more traditional home in the old established city centre.

Izmir is a huge city and province of western Turkey, the third largest province of the country, hosting its huge city centre, many popular residential areas and several coastal resorts.
Probably the most famous resort is Cesme, an elite area for Turks and a growing number of foreign tourists too, though the peninsula hosts many lesser known resorts too.
The coastline between Cesme and the city centre offers many new developing areas and several established areas, with Guzelbahce being one of the smallest of all, though growing in terms of size and popularity, slowly becoming known as a coastal holiday destination.
