Airbnb apartments in Turkey are a permit question before they are a price question.
Under Law No. 7464 a let of 100 days or less is a guest stay rather than an ordinary residential tenancy. It needs a short-term rental permit from the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, granted before the first guest arrives.
The permitted apartments Summer Homes publishes in Turkey open at €75,000, with a median of €153,750 for a median 55 m², and a median metre rate of €2,462.
That permit depends on the owners of the building agreeing in writing. So the question is less whether short-term rental is legal in Turkey, and more whether it is possible in the particular block you are looking at.
The published list is also narrower than what we can reach. Give us a ceiling, an area, a bedroom count and the fact that you intend to take paying guests.
We then ask developers and owners who have published nothing with us, and answer with homes that fit or with a plain no.
Asking prices from the listings we had live on 22 October 2026, not completed sale prices — how we measure. These figures cover only the listings that hold a short-term rental permit, and no Istanbul figure is given: too few permitted homes there for a midpoint.
The permit comes first. The short-term rental permit is issued by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, and applications are handled through the provincial directorate of culture and tourism. It has to be in hand before the first guest arrives.
The building has to agree in writing. In a block of apartments the permit cannot be issued without the consent of the owners, which means a neighbour who objects can stop it. Ask for the signed decision of the owners’ meeting, and ask your lawyer whether the consent on file still holds once the home changes hands and who has to re-apply if it does not.
A single host cannot take the whole block. In a building of more than 3 independent units, a single host may hold permits for no more than 25 per cent of them.
The ceiling is counted per host rather than per building. Other owners already taking guests does not close the door on your own application; it limits how far each of them can go.
If you are buying several units in the same building, put that plan to your lawyer before you commit to all of them.
A sale does not carry the permit by itself. When the home changes hands the new host has to apply for the permit to be transferred within 30 days of the sale being registered, and the permit is cancelled where that is not done. Ask your lawyer to put that step in the purchase timetable rather than leaving it until after completion.
The tax office is part of the plan. Taking guests means a Turkish tax number and an income declaration. Rates and allowances change, so put the figures to an accountant before the purchase rather than after a season has run.
Operating without the permit draws a fine, and we are not printing the amount. Administrative fines apply, but the sums quoted in English-language summaries contradict each other. A figure that may already be out of date belongs in a letter from your own lawyer rather than in a sales text.
We are not lawyers and this is not legal advice. What we can do is put the permit, the seller’s statement and the decision of the owners in writing for your lawyer to read.
| Sold by | From | Median asking price | Median size | Per m² |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Developer sale | €75,000 | €135,000 | 63 m² | €2,289 |
| Resale | €89,000 | — | — | — |
The permitted set opens on the developer side, at €75,000, while the lowest permitted resale asks €89,000.
We publish no midpoint for permitted resales, because too few of them exist for a midpoint to describe anything. The midpoint of a handful of homes is just their average wearing a better name.
The developer midpoint, €135,000 for 63 m², sits under €158,000, which is the midpoint of every permitted property type taken together.
This is an apartment market rather than a villa market. The permitted villas are too few to price at all, which is why the midpoint of the set, €158,000, sits so close to the apartment midpoint of €153,750.
If a detached home that can take guests is the brief, say so: that is a search beyond the published list. Ask your lawyer how the consent requirement applies when there is no block of neighbours to consult.
| Bedrooms | Median asking price | Median size |
|---|---|---|
| 1+1 | €128,500 | 54 m² |
| 2+1 | €269,500 | 101 m² |
Layouts are counted per unit instead of per listing, because a development can sell several of them under a single reference and counting references would bury the small ones. They cover the permitted homes in Alanya only.
The handful in Istanbul are left out because a couple of homes cannot represent a city. Folding them in would move these figures without telling you anything about either market.
The step from 1+1 to 2+1 is where the budget decision lives. It adds more to the asking price than the 1+1 asks in the first place, and it lifts the median floor area from 54 m² to 101 m².
Above 2+1 the permitted layouts we publish are too thin for a median, so ask us to quote the plan you have in mind.
The permitted apartments we publish in Antalya province sit in Alanya and in neighbouring Gazipaşa, which our Alanya figures count. So the provincial figure and the Alanya figure are the same thing.
That median is €149,500 for 55 m², at €2,447 per square metre, with asking prices opening at €75,000.
That is the market this permitted set actually describes.
The wider Alanya market, permit or no permit, is set out on property for sale in Alanya, and at neighbourhood level on Mahmutlar apartments. A listing on either of those holds a permit only where it says so.
Istanbul belongs to the permitted set as well, but with too few homes in it for a midpoint to mean anything. So we quote permitted homes in Istanbul property by property: name the district and we will price what is there.
The clustering is in our list rather than in the law. The permit regime applies across Turkey, so a city we publish nothing in is a gap on our side and not a place where guests are off limits. Name it and we will go and ask.
It suits a buyer who lets the permit guide the shortlist. Where the document exists, the owners have signed and the service charge is known, the rest is an ordinary apartment purchase around a median of €153,750.
The set opens at €75,000 and the 1+1 layout sits at a median of €128,500. Start from the paperwork and let the photographs come second.
It suits an investment buyer who treats the paperwork as the asset. A permitted home with the owners’ consent on file and a management that accepts guests is a different proposition from the identical apartment next door without either. We hold no measurement of what that difference is worth, so treat any such quote with suspicion.
It does not suit you if the sums only work on a number somebody gave you verbally. Nightly rates and how full a calendar gets are absent from our data. The permit regime is also new enough that the way a building behaved before it is no guide to what it will allow now.
Settle the permit position in writing first and the arithmetic with an accountant second.
It does not suit you if you want a priced Istanbul shortlist, or a detached home with a permit. Neither can be priced from this set: Istanbul because the permitted homes there are too few, the villa side because it is thinner still. Both are briefs rather than lists, so send them and we will go looking.
A shared pool arrives with the complex in this set rather than as a paid extra, which matters both for your guests and for the monthly service charge. A private pool is the exception here.
What is genuinely scarce is a building with nothing built between it and the water, and a sight line to the sea is not the same thing as a short walk down to it.
Ask for the distance in metres, and ask whether short-stay visitors may use the shared facilities. Put those questions to the site management rather than to the seller.
The permit itself. Ask for a copy, check the address printed on it against the title deed, and ask your lawyer whether it carries a term, a renewal condition or anything that changes when the home is sold.
The owners’ decision and the house rules. Ask for the signed decision that allows guest stays, then ask what the management has written down about keys, noise and the shared facilities.
The monthly service charge. You pay it for as long as you own the home. Put this year’s figure next to the asking price, in writing, and ask what it becomes once the developer has sold the last unit.
We do not publish occupancy rates, nightly rates, payback periods, guaranteed income or projected appreciation for these apartments. Our listings carry none of those figures, and an unverifiable number would cost you more than a blank.
Where somebody does quote them to you, ask where the figure came from and who stands behind it.
What can be checked is narrower and more useful. Whether the permit exists today, and whether it carries a term or a renewal condition. Whether the owners of the building have agreed in writing. What the monthly service charge covers, and what it becomes when the developer leaves. What an accountant says the income declaration will cost. Ask for each of those in writing before a deposit moves, and let the paperwork rather than a projection settle the purchase.
Then tell us the ceiling in euros, the area, the bedroom count and that the home has to be able to take guests legally.
We come back with the permitted apartments that fit, the metre rate for each, and whatever we hold or can request on the permit, the owners’ decision and the service charge. When nothing published fits, we say so and look past the list.
For the market these apartments sit inside, compare property for sale in Turkey, the apartment market as a whole on buying an apartment in Turkey and the entry end on cheap property in Turkey. Read no permit into any listing that does not state it.
Yes, and it has to be granted before your first guest rather than sorted out later. The Ministry of Culture and Tourism issues the short-term rental permit and applications go through the provincial directorate of culture and tourism. In a block of apartments the permit cannot be granted unless the owners agree in writing. Ask the seller for a copy of the document, and ask your lawyer what the permit requires of a new owner before you rely on it.
Within the permitted set the lowest asking price is €75,000 and the midpoint is €158,000, where the typical home measures 55 m². Taking only the apartments, the midpoint is €153,750 and the metre rate €2,462. Sellers set those numbers, buyers negotiate them down or walk away, so read them as an opening position rather than a settlement.
In Alanya, inside Antalya province, with a sample in Istanbul too thin to price. So the Antalya numbers are Alanya numbers: a midpoint of €149,500 covering 55 m², a metre rate of €2,447, and a floor of €75,000. The permit regime itself covers the whole country, so the clustering belongs to our list and not to the law. Name a city we are quiet about and we will go and ask there.
No. Occupancy rates, nightly prices, a payback period, guaranteed income, projected appreciation: we do not publish any of them, because the data behind these listings holds nothing of the kind. What we can obtain in writing is the permit, the decision of the owners that allows guest stays, and the monthly service charge. Put the earning question to an accountant and to a local management company, and ask each of them what their estimate rests on.
Because the law asks for the written agreement of the owners before a permit is issued, which turns a private purchase into a collective decision. A neighbour who dislikes strangers in the lift can block it even when the apartment itself is faultless. Ask for the signed decision of the owners, ask whether anybody voted against it, and ask whether the management has written separate house rules for guest stays.
Yes, but the ceiling sits on each host, not on the block. Where a building holds more than 3 independent units, the share any single host may have permitted is capped at 25 per cent — so a neighbour who already takes guests has not used up your chance. It bites only where the same buyer wants several apartments in the same place and ask it before you make an offer, because a seller has little reason to raise the subject unprompted.
Administrative fines apply. We deliberately print no amount: published English-language figures disagree with each other, and a penalty number that has gone stale harms you more than a pointer to your own lawyer, who can state the schedule in force on the day. The question worth asking the seller is whether the home has ever been reported or inspected.
Money will not settle it here. The developer side has a midpoint of €135,000 for 63 m², a metre rate of €2,289, and a floor of €75,000; the lowest permitted resale asks €89,000, and there are too few permitted resales for a midpoint to mean anything. The real difference is who can hand you the paperwork: on a resale the permit either exists or it does not, and on an unfinished building it can still be an intention. Ask which it is before any deposit moves.
Measured per layout rather than per listing, and for the Alanya homes only because they are the euro-priced ones: a 1+1 asks a midpoint of €128,500 covering 54 m², and a 2+1 asks €269,500 covering 101 m². Bigger layouts appear in the permitted set, but behind each of them sits a sample too small for us to publish a midpoint, so ask us to quote the layout you want. The layout decides how many beds fit; whether the building accepts that number of guests is a question for the site management.
Normally yes, and it is shared: the pool belongs to the complex instead of being an upgrade you buy, the monthly service charge is what keeps it running, and a private pool is unusual here. Ask whether the water stays open outside the summer, and ask whether short-stay visitors are allowed to use the shared facilities at all, putting that question to the site management rather than to the seller.
Because euros are what the Alanya sellers price in, and restating a price in another currency makes it drift every time the exchange rate drifts while the apartment stands still. Istanbul is the exception, where not a single asking price is set in euros, so Istanbul stays out of every euro figure shown. Before you move money, ask which currency the contract itself names, because the advert and the contract can disagree.
Renting to guests brings a Turkish tax number and an income declaration with it. Rates, bands and allowances move, so we publish none of them: ask an accountant for the figures in force, and ask before the purchase rather than after a season has already run. Ask as well what paperwork the accountant needs from the site management, because collecting it later is slower than agreeing it at the start.
On 22 October 2026, across the Summer Homes listings that carried a short-term rental permit that day. A metre rate here is the midpoint of the individual ratios of price to floor area, so it will not equal a midpoint price divided by a midpoint area, and the methods can be far apart. For an apartment you are serious about, ask us for the live number instead.
