Welcome<br />
Hello everyone!<br />
Welcome to another exciting<br />
edition of our online magazine<br />
æ<br />
Ozan Demir<br />
Editor<br />
<strong>2Base</strong> Estate Agency<br />
Here at <strong>2Base</strong> we have<br />
had a very busy year.<br />
The restrictions and<br />
interruptions of travel<br />
and vacation are finally<br />
over and we see that all<br />
of you have missed your<br />
vacations in Alanya.<br />
It is so good to finally<br />
have you all back :-)<br />
The real estate market in<br />
the entire region is soaring<br />
and after Istanbul,<br />
Antalya was the place<br />
with the most sales in<br />
Turkey.<br />
This does not surprise<br />
us, after all our region<br />
is the perfect place for a<br />
holiday home with nature<br />
at its best, friendly<br />
people, sunny weather<br />
and crystal clear water.<br />
For the past year we<br />
have gained many new<br />
customers and became<br />
friends with all of them.<br />
Our goal is always to be as<br />
helpful as possible before,<br />
during and after the sale.<br />
Apart from that we have<br />
also expanded our office<br />
and new colleagues have<br />
joined our team.<br />
Finally the current situation<br />
in the world has saddened<br />
us and we take a firm<br />
stand against any kind of<br />
violence, war and<br />
aggression.<br />
We feel extremely sorry<br />
for everyone who is affected<br />
by this situation and<br />
our best wishes are with<br />
you.<br />
As the founder of Turkey,<br />
Mustafa Kemal Atatürk,<br />
said:<br />
Peace at Home Peace in<br />
the World!<br />
I wish all of you good<br />

Believe it or not - we have had snow<br />
weather in Alanya. The snow was most clear<br />
in the center as well as on the mountain side<br />
behind Alanya.<br />
Even though the snow didn’t stay that long, it<br />
was still a beautiful and different sight.<br />
A big congratulation to team Finland who<br />
beat Russia 2-1 in the final of the men’s ice<br />
hockey tournament at the Olympic games<br />
<strong>2022</strong> in Beijing.
Sorry, we mixed it up!<br />
Over the next few weeks, we have a major<br />
remodel going on here at the office.<br />
Of course we are still welcome, but in a very<br />
limited area.<br />
If you are planning to come for a coffee, chat<br />
or deposit money, we ask you to contact us in<br />
advance so that we can make an appointment.<br />
We wish you all a great weekend.<br />

Raki & Fish<br />
Popular among Turks is the combination of fish and the local drink<br />
raki. Raki is an alcoholic drink with anise taste, like ouzo or French<br />
pastis pernod. On the table you will also see a lot of starters.<br />
All the fish is of course fresh and daily.<br />
Since the starters are very important there is a lof to choose from.

OUR BLOG<br />
A quick hello from <strong>2Base</strong>!<br />
A few minor updates have recently been<br />
made to our website.<br />
Many of them are not directly visible since<br />
they have to do with what goes on behind the<br />
scenes of the website, so to speak.<br />
Luckily there are also a few changes that can<br />
be seen :-)<br />
Among other things it is now possible to see<br />
only the units that have a video presentation.<br />
This is done by selecting ”Properties with<br />
video” or ”Complexes with video” in the main<br />
menu under ”Search property”.<br />
Also our ”About Us” page containing information<br />
about our history as <strong>2Base</strong> and who we<br />
are has been updated.<br />
Among other things, we have been searching<br />
our photo archive and found some nice, old<br />
photos.<br />
So check out the updates and the photos starting<br />
from way back when our company was<br />
first founded.<br />
With the situation in Ukraine in mind, we have<br />
also chosen to include a small text about our<br />
position on recent events.<br />
It goes like this:
”In our company you will find people with a<br />
variety of backgrounds, nationalities, education,<br />
culture and beliefs.<br />
Together we act as a strong unit where we<br />
accept and support each other both at work<br />
and privately.<br />
At <strong>2Base</strong> we wish for and support a society<br />
and a world where differences and diversities<br />
thrive and where disagreements are solved<br />
via dialogue and understanding.<br />
In short a future world where aggressivity, violence<br />
and threatful behavior is not accepted.<br />
We therefor loud and clear say ”no to war”,<br />
violent behaviour, aggressivity and all other<br />
forms of destructive behaviour.”<br />
We have also started creating the next issue<br />
of our online magazine, which we hope will<br />
hit a computer screen near you by the end of<br />
April.<br />
Finally, we would like to remind you that it is a<br />
really good idea to follow us on social media<br />
like Facebook, Instagram and Youtube.<br />
So go ahead, visit our updated ”About Us”<br />
page, see the funny pictures from the old<br />
days and take the opportunity to jump on to<br />
our social channels.<br />
Many greetings from <strong>2Base</strong>.<br />

Thank God it now looks like most fires are<br />
under control, after a huge extinguishing and<br />
cooling work. Thousands of firefighters and<br />
volunteers have been busy the past 14 days<br />
and they have managed to control the fires<br />
around the towns and villages in most places.<br />
There are places like this. ex in Manavgat<br />
where people have lost their houses, their<br />
crops as well as their animals and it’s quite<br />
terrible. You have probably seen the pictures<br />
on Facebook and in Ekstra Bladet, where<br />
houses and areas are burning.<br />
Now the reconstruction of this begins, even<br />
though it’s not something you just do. But<br />
many local volunteers, Danes and tourists are<br />
involved in this.<br />
There are many collections, both by private on<br />
Facebook but also municipal collections where<br />
you can donate money or things to the victims<br />
of burning. You can find a lot more about this<br />
on Facebook in the different groups, and we<br />
know several who have donated money and<br />
even furniture to the vulnerable areas.<br />
The annual Aspendo International Opera and<br />
Ballet Festival kicks off tomorrow<br />
The opera will be held in Aspendos which is<br />
about 100 km from Alanya. You can experience<br />
opera and ballet here in the old amphitheater,<br />
and should be a great experience.<br />
Tours from Alanya are sold so you don’t have<br />
to drive there yourself, but you can also rent a<br />
car and drive there yourself.<br />
The municipality of Alanya also supports of<br />
course where they can, and they send food,<br />
water, shoes and clothes to the vulnerable<br />
areas.<br />
A big thank you to all the volunteers and<br />
people who donated, even a small donation<br />
means a lot. And a big thank you to all the firefighters<br />
and people who have fought the fires<br />
all over Turkey.
Turkish desserts.<br />
Baklava is a Turkish dessert which is very<br />
popular among the locals, it comes in many<br />
different flavors but the most popular one is<br />
with pistachio nuts, however, common to all of<br />
them is that they are very sweet.<br />
However, there is another very special one<br />
who is hardly as sweet called Künefe.<br />
Künefe is a dessert that contains melted<br />
cheese, sweet syrup and Kadayif noodles. It<br />
may not sound so delicious but it is, it should<br />
be enjoyed very warm and with cold vanilla<br />
ice cream next to it.<br />
Flamingos have begun to come to Salt Lake,<br />
the largest natural breeding colony in the<br />
world for these birds.<br />
As the weather gets warmer, tens of<br />
thousands of flamingos every year come to<br />
Salt Lake, located on important migration<br />
routes in the central Anatolian province of<br />
Aksaray. The lake offers unique feeding,<br />
incubation and nursery opportunities for<br />
flamingos.<br />
Flamingos migrate to warmer regions after<br />
being hosted in the lake from September to<br />
October.<br />
Last week was the biggest holiday week in<br />
Turkey and Alanya was filled with Turkish<br />
“tourists” from all corners of Turkey.<br />
It put a lot of pressure on both beaches,<br />
roads, restaurants and not least the hotels,<br />
which were all full. You could experience<br />
people sleeping in parks, on the beach and in<br />
their cars during the week, and local authorities<br />
estimated there were about 1.5 million<br />
people in the city.<br />
A good sign of the start of summer is when<br />
the Musmula trees are full of fruits. For those<br />
of you who haven’t tried Musmula, then it’s<br />
yellow plum which tastes a little sweet and<br />
sour. It’s also called the Maltese plum, and<br />
you can find the trees all around Alanya.<br />
Most people prefer to eat them when they<br />
are overripe and are like many other fruits<br />
healthy and have lots of vitamins A and B.<br />

Gelidonya Lighthouse<br />
and Lycian Way<br />
This place, which is approximately 250 km away<br />
from Alanya, is also known as ”Gelidonya Cape” or<br />
”Kırlangıç Cape”.<br />
This lighthouse was built at an altitude of 227<br />
meters and it is the Turkey’s highest lighthouse.<br />
”This lighthouse was<br />
built at an altitude of<br />
227 meters and it is<br />
the Turkey’s highest<br />
lighthouse.”<br />
It is possible to reach here by car up to a point.<br />
But after this point you have to leave your vehicle<br />
and continue by walking.<br />
The Karaöz-Adrasan track, known as the ”Lycian<br />
road” passes here.<br />
Lycian Way’’ is a walking route created with the<br />
paths in the Teke peninsula.<br />
It has been chosen as one of the 10 best walking<br />
routes in the world. The length of it is 535 km.<br />
You will come across unique views along this way.<br />
The road is stony and difficult. That’s why you<br />
should have water with you.<br />
This area is also known as the camping area. There<br />
are camping areas almost everywhere around<br />
Adrasan and Olympos region.<br />
You can follow the signs to reach the region.<br />
There are no shops like markets here. So it will be<br />
a good idea to bring food and drink with you<br />
It would be better not to go with slippers. Because<br />
the walking path is tough and rocky.

OUR BLOG<br />
Hello from the year of <strong>2022</strong><br />
A new year has gotten off to a good start and<br />
times flies all by itself.<br />
The year has started just as busy as it ended.<br />
Those who thought that the time around the<br />
month of Christmas and new year would be<br />
calm with time to eat cookies, relax and tie up<br />
loose ends where mistaken.<br />
So yes, we were mistaken...<br />
We thought that December would be the<br />
perfect month to do a smaller renovation of<br />
our office. As mentioned, it turned out not to<br />
be correct, and what was supposed to be 10<br />
days of working from home while the office<br />
would be closed, turned out to be two weeks<br />
with customers in the messy of construction<br />
work.<br />
In the end everything worked out just fine and<br />
customers, partners and our proficient staff all<br />
understood the situation.<br />
Especially a big ”thank you” goes out to the<br />
latter, who always do their absolute best and<br />
solve any issue that they encounter.<br />
The reason we started a renovation at our<br />
office is working space. We are extending our<br />
team and that requires space for additional<br />
work stations.
So next time you pass by for a cup of coffee<br />
you will probably see some new faces.<br />
And all of the old ones are of course still here.<br />
The coffee is also the same, so everything is<br />
more and less as it has always been.<br />
Today it is raining cats and dogs and “sunny<br />
Alanya” is not available. But rain can also be<br />
cosy and has never hurt anyone.<br />
And the same sometimes goes for our<br />
customers.<br />
So a big praise goes out to my colleagues<br />
and there ability to handle this and they way<br />
they are constructive and always seek<br />
solutions is absolutely amazing.<br />
With that - thank you for reading.<br />
We really look forward to seeing you all at<br />
some point this year. Several of you has not<br />
visited Alanya for several year and we hope<br />
that <strong>2022</strong> will provide you with an opportunity<br />
to visit, enjoy your holiday home, enjoy Alanya<br />
and pass by our office to say hello.<br />
Traveling as things are today often leads<br />
to a lot of questions.<br />
We are reachable in a numerous ways and<br />
are happy to answer any question you might<br />
have.<br />
Finally I would like to take the opportunity to<br />
thank the team of colleagues here at <strong>2Base</strong>.<br />
Neither the notary, banks, land registry office,<br />
tax office and other local authorities are easy<br />
to work and collaborate with.<br />

The busy times are back!<br />
Last couple of month have been very busy.<br />
We have actually had so much to do, that a<br />
college recently look at me and said ...<br />
That also means a lot of happy sellers, of<br />
which the majority is actually sad that they<br />
have to sell their holiday home in Alanya.<br />
”I can no longer do this”.<br />
I was said with a smile on his face and of course<br />
could sell yet another property.<br />
We have had days where the phones have<br />
been ringing constantly, where we did not<br />
have sufficient cars for driving customers and<br />
where emails where answered after dinner<br />
time.<br />
We still feel the busyness and are grateful<br />
or the interest what we feel from new buyers,<br />
sellers and existing customer that again<br />
are coming to Alanya to enjoy the weather,<br />
beautiful nature and good food.<br />
Customers from countries such as Germany,<br />
Turkey, Denmark, Russia, Finland,<br />
Austria, Ukraine, Holland and United Kingdom<br />
have bought property.<br />
Unfortunately circumstances such as economy,<br />
family and health are not always within<br />
our control.<br />
So our message to all of you are ....<br />
Do you consider to buy or sell a holiday<br />
home in Alanya then do not be afraid to let<br />
us know.<br />
There is again so many things going on in<br />
Alanya, new and exiting properies are being<br />
included in our portfolio and generally the<br />
interest for property in Alanya and Turkey is<br />
on the rise.

A new rule has seen the light of day!<br />
A new rule regarding the purchase of real<br />
estate in Turkey has seen the light of day.<br />
The rule means that buyer when applying for<br />
the title deed transfer must enclose a so-called<br />
“exchange certificate”, which documents<br />
that the public evaluation value of the property<br />
has been exchanged from foreign currency<br />
into Turkish lira.<br />
The certificate is issued by the Turkish<br />
banks and must be handed in at the local<br />
land registry office along with all other<br />
required documents related to the transfer<br />
of the title deed.<br />
In practical terms, this means that the buyer<br />
of a property in a Turkish bank account must<br />
exchange the registration value from foreign<br />
currency - typically Euro or Dollar - to Turkish<br />
lira.<br />
The bank then issues the exchange certificate<br />
which is then submitted along with all other<br />
documents.<br />
There are still some ambiguities about this<br />
process, but below we will explain the two<br />
most common scenarios for you as a buyer.<br />
Likewise, we will answer some of the most<br />
frequently asked questions.<br />
In the examples we will be using a property<br />
with a public evaluation TRL 750,000, corresponding<br />
to around 50,000 Euros.<br />
- You have a Turkish bank account<br />
Here you can send 50,000 Euros to your Turkish<br />
bank account, exchange for Turkish lira<br />
and get the certificate issued.<br />

on your behalf, he or she can also complete<br />
the exchange.<br />
In that case, you will send 50,000 Euros to<br />
your representative / broker who will complete<br />
the exchange and have the certificate<br />
issued on your behalf.<br />

BİSAN Bike<br />
Riding your bike is fun and a great thing to do in<br />
Alanya. One of the most popular bike shops is<br />
”Martin Türkay Bike Shop”.<br />
”Should you want to try<br />
out a Bisan bike for<br />
yourself, then please<br />
visit ”Martin Türkay<br />
bike shop”.<br />
It is owned and run by Martin Bernhart. He is German<br />
and has been selling and servicing bikes for<br />
more than 20 years in Alanya.<br />
He is also an authorized dealer of the Turkish bike<br />
brand ”Bisan” and recently he visited their fabric<br />
in Izmir.<br />
Martin is a really nice guy, so he has shared his<br />
photos and videos from the visit to the factory<br />
with us.<br />
”Since 2015 Bisan has invested heavily in their<br />
production facilities. They now produce close to<br />
a 100 different models. On the cheaper models<br />
most parts are produced locally.<br />
A total of 500.000 bikes are produced per year,<br />
some for the Turkish market and some of export<br />
to countries such as Germany and Holland” says<br />
Martin.<br />
Should you want to try out a Bisan bike for<br />

OUR BLOG<br />
The busy times are back!<br />
After many, many month that somehow<br />
turned into years Alanya is now slowly getting<br />
back to normal.<br />
Flights are commencing, beaches are again<br />
crowded and restaurants are open.<br />
It is so nice to see some activity again in<br />
Alanya.<br />
Also in our office activities are picking up<br />
and we get daily visits from both new and<br />
existing customers.<br />
Our goal is to make everybody’s stay in<br />
Alanya as pleasant and nice as possible.<br />
So couple of years ago we made a magazine<br />
with a guide to our best recommendations for<br />
places to eat and hang out.<br />
We called it ”Recommended by <strong>2Base</strong>” and<br />
the idea behind was quite simple.<br />
Everyone from <strong>2Base</strong> would gather to make a<br />
list of their favorite places.<br />
No matter the size, location or style.<br />
Only criteria was that it should be a place<br />
that at least one person from our <strong>2Base</strong><br />
team would recommend and use themselves.<br />
We just updated the magazine with our latest<br />
recommendations.<br />
Some places have been removed and some<br />
new places found its way into the magazine.<br />
Click the picture above or this link to access<br />
the magazine.<br />
We wish you the best luck in trying out new<br />
things.<br />
Have fun and enjoy!

Italian Pizza / Turkish Pide<br />
In Turkey pizzas are just as tasty as in Italy. There is even a<br />
Turkish variant named ”pide”.<br />
Real genuine pizza and pide are both baked in a wood fired stone<br />
oven. The most obvious differences between pizza and<br />
pide are the toppings. And while a pizza is round and fits<br />
nicely on a plate.

Ancient City<br />
and Natural Pool<br />
This is Koru beach.There is a natural pool on the<br />
Koru beach which is about 50 km from Alanya.<br />
”This beach is<br />
quite clean and<br />
a very good<br />
place to swim”<br />
You should definitely see this natural beauty<br />
with 3 natural pools in it. At the same time, this is<br />
one of the rare places where caretta carettas lay<br />
their eggs.<br />
This is a place of natural wonder. The people of<br />
the region call it ”seaside stone” This beach is<br />
quite clean and a very good place to swim.<br />
There is an ancient city on the same road Its<br />
name is Selinus ancient city. The history of this<br />
ancient city, whose real name is. Sallune starting<br />
from the Roman period. This place used to be a<br />
town. There are baths, necropolis with<br />
monumental tombs, structures such as odeon,<br />
aqueducts and churches.<br />
Roman Emperor Trajan died in this city.<br />
To get to the top, you have to climb<br />
approximately 650 stairs.<br />
So get water and food with you.<br />
When you go to the top, a wonderful view welcomes<br />
you.<br />
We recommend that you book your weekend to<br />
see both the natural pool and the ancient city of<br />
Selinus
Turkish Real Estate Vocabulary<br />
Bank Account<br />
In Turkey the commercial banking system is quite modern and many foreign banks are<br />
operating in the market.<br />
As a foreigner you can easily open a bank account and use it for money transfers, online<br />
payments of bills and investments.<br />
Should you choose to open a bank account in Turkey then be aware that banking fees are<br />
quite high and that not all banks have staff who are able to communicate in understand<br />
<strong>English</strong>.

Recently we sold a flat to one of our Finnish<br />
customers, he also had a motorbike which he<br />
wanted to sell.<br />
With some good work from our colleagues we<br />
managed to find a happy buyer.<br />
And we can now write motorcycle salesman<br />
on our resume :)<br />
Have you been to Cappadocia?<br />
Cappadocia is very popular with tourists and<br />
locals alike, due to its beautiful rock<br />
formations and the rich history of the area.<br />
Most people probably know the area of their<br />
hot air balloon tours, which typically start early<br />
in the morning, so that you fly at the same<br />
time as the sun rises and you can see the<br />
beautiful sunrise over the mountains.<br />
It is also a popular area to hike and there are<br />
several routes such as f. ex Ihlara, Monastery<br />
(Guzelyurt), Ürgüp and Göreme.<br />
In Alanya the holiday atmosphere is finally<br />
coming back, and we are happy about that,<br />
it’s great to see our customers again and hear<br />
Scandinavian on the streets and beaches.<br />
We are looking forward to a hopefully lovely<br />
summer in Alanya with sun, hygge and beach,<br />
we think we all deserve it.<br />
If you are curious about what it looks like on<br />
the Cleopatra beach, Mahmutlar, Tosmur or<br />
even the castle then you can see this here:<br />
Discover the beautiful rock formations formed<br />
by volcanic eruptions over 3 million years ago.<br />
You can still see many places where people<br />
in the old days lived, and descended into the<br />
underground caves where women, children<br />
and animals were protected during some of<br />
Turkey’s countless wars.<br />
The trip takes about 7 hours by car, a little<br />
less if you don’t stop along the way, but if you<br />
don’ t have the courage to drive yourself, you<br />
can find arranged bus trips up there, where<br />
hotel and food are included and usually take<br />
two days.<br />
A Turkish newspaper has recently taken some beautiful<br />
pictures of the area, so we’re sharing them here<br />
too: Link<br />
