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 />

fashionable. But ’’Eskici Bookstore” is more<br />

old-school. It is located next to the<br />

”Here you<br />

You can also exchange books in ’’Eskici<br />

Bookstore’’ So once you are done with a<br />

book you can go to ”Eskici Bookstore” and<br />

between 3 and 50 Turkish Lira.<br />

Head of digital marketing<br />

<strong>2Base</strong> Estate Agency is looking for a head of<br />

digital marketing to promote our company<br />

and products and be responsible for all of our<br />

marketing initiatives. Together with our sales<br />

department and graphical designer you will be<br />

responsible for developing,<br />

For more information please visit our Facebook<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 />

If the property must be paid in Euro, you can<br />

exchange back to Euro after the exchange<br />

certificate has been issued.<br />

- You have no Turkish bank account<br />

In that case a representative can do the exchange<br />

on your behalf. If you have given a 3rd<br />

party such as your real estate agent a power<br />

of attorney to be able to complete the transaction<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 />

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 />
