Location, lifestyle, access: Muratpaşa

Muratpaşa covers the historic centre of Antalya, the shopping districts and residential areas as far as the cliff coast and the coastal districts. The airport is around 20 to 30 minutes away.

This is where Antalya is at its densest: shops, restaurants, theatres, clinics, trams and buses. The buildings are mixed, from Ottoman old buildings in Kaleiçi to modern apartment blocks. Life goes on all year, and even in January the cafés are full.

Who Muratpaşa suits

• Buyers who want city life
• Buyers who want to manage without a car
• Investors who let to long-term tenants

What you will find in Muratpaşa

Apartments in town houses and modern apartment blocks, some with a view of the old town or the sea.

By the sea, with sea views or an affordable start

In Muratpaşa you get sea views on the cliff coast, where apartments on the higher floors look over the bay as far as Konyaaltı. Right by the sea here means cliff rather than beach, and the beaches are in Lara and Konyaaltı. Complexes with a pool are rarer than in Lara, but you will find city apartments to start affordably. There are no villas in the centre. We give you prices for specific properties.

What to keep in mind in Muratpaşa (and what we handle for you)

• We check old buildings technically and in detail before you buy.
• The centre is loud and busy with traffic.

Alpa Abi, the team and Muratpaşa

Alpa Abi lives in Antalya and is constantly out and about in the centre. He looks at the building, the stairwell and the apartment and tells you whether the old building is any good. We check the Tapu (title deed) and the Iskan (occupancy permit), calculate the additional costs and go with you to the land registry.
