  • Biking in Turkey

    Mountain biking provides the ultimate off-road experience, one that allows visitors a more intimate window into traditional Turkey. The terrain above Kas takes pedalers along scenic roads, into magnificent canyons, along river streams and up into traditional, rural villages. The mountainous trails along the Lycian Way, from Antalya all the way West to Fethiye, stretch out along an idyllic and pastoral landscape, weaving between forested paths and coastal roads as it passes through the ancient relics of antiquity.

    A ride through the tinted folds and ripples of Cappadocia’s storied valleys offers a challenging, exhilarating and unparalleled introduction into the history and lore of the steppes. And in the Belgrade Forest on the outskirts of Istanbul, cyclers continue to be amazed by the Roman aqueducts, the lush trails and a fabulous descent directly down to the edge of Kilyos Beach, on the Black Sea. For the true biking enthusiast, the Black Sea region, with its dense forests and rich network of national parks, provides a seemingly endless and challenging ride of a lifetime.

  • Houses in Turkey

    In Turkey the size of families has become smaller and because urbanization problems have arisen, people have started to live in apartment blocks in the urban areas and in smaller houses in the rural areas. Generally apartments have 3 bedrooms with an average surface area of 100 m² / 120 yd². In larger cities apartments are more expensive to own. The prices start from 10.000 USD and goes up to 100.000 USD. The average citizen cannot easily afford such a price even with the help of a mortgage.

    Periodically the government or the municipality build apartment complexes and arranges some mortgages to be paid in 20 to 30 years period. Nearly half of the people living in big cities rent their flats rather than own them. The average rent is around $200 a month. In smaller cities, flats are less expensive and more people own their houses or apartments. The proportion of people who rent their houses nationwide is 35%. People who work for the state, live in apartments which belong to the state and they pay a very small amount of rent.
