Just 10 of the many good reasons why you should invest in Turkey

Only during the past couple of years has Turkey really opened up to foreign investors.  This has been due mainly to changes in the law and of course the relatively good value to be had in comparison to other locations.

2. EU Entry

Turkey has been accepted as a candidate country for EU membership and it expects to gain full membership by 2011 so now is the time to invest.

3. Value for money

Property prices are less than a quarter the price of similar properties in the more traditional locations and less than one tenth that of some of the seaside resorts in Ireland.  This situation cannot remain so for very much longer.

4. Access/Travel

Approximately 4 hours flight time from Ireland with direct flights to most destinations for almost all of the year and easy connections available for the remainder.

5. Activities

Endless ancient sites to visit and every conceivable leisure activity catered for together with great food and modern infrastructure make Turkey an ideal location for both investment and holiday or retirement.

6. People

The most friendly, welcoming and outgoing people you could wish to meet; Most speaking good English and all very interested in making both investors and tourists feel welcome and at home.

7. Security

A very stable democracy together with low crime rates gives you full peace of mind for both your personal safety and the security of your investment.

8. Climate

Recognised as the healthiest unpolluted region in Europe with long dry summers and short mild winters.

A fraction of that of Ireland; you will not have to worry about the cost of having a good time; an open currency market allows free transfer of funds both into and out of the country.
