The only anomaly of the Turkish process is the requirement for a “military approval”. Whilst this sounds dramatic, it is simply a process that has to be undertaken, to ensure that the buyer is purchasing a property for which they have a right to buy

Turkey is a geographically diverse country with snow capped mountains and broad rivers in the east to green coasts and rich agricultural valleys in the west, to a lush, rainy, temperate climate in the north and a hot, dry climate in the south. Stretching from the nation's border with Greece to its frontier with Syria, the Turkish Coast is a coastal strip that has thousands of miles of unspoiled sandy beaches and coves fringed by pine forests, hundreds of pristine fishing villages and market towns, and a wealth of ancient ruins found nowhere else in the world.

The nation is one of the largest in Europe and is about the size of Britain and France combined. The population of Turkey is approximately 65 million.

The country is unique in that 97% of it is in Asia and 3% is in Europe. The Asian side is known as Anatolia and the European side, Thrace. The two are separated by the Dardanelles (Canakkale) and by the Bosphorous Straights in Istanbul. Istanbul is Turkey's largest and most famous city and its capital is Ankara. Although Turkey is 99% Muslim, it is a secular state that guarantees complete freedom of worship to non-Muslims.

From April to October, most places in Turkey have an ideal climate that is perfect for relaxing on sandy beaches or enjoying the tranquility of mountains and lakes. The winter months are from November – March.
