Property for Sale in Samsun: Flat in Atakum, House by the Sea
Samsun is the largest city on the central Black Sea coast: harbour, university, a long waterfront promenade, an airport and the city where Atatürk landed in 1919. Property for sale in Samsun means a year-round home or an investment flat in a city that works and is growing.
An evening in Atakum: you walk along the promenade, cyclists, families, tea gardens by the water, the sun going down behind the sea. In the morning to the market, fish straight from the boat, hazelnuts from Ordu. At the weekend you go to the beach near Atakum, not hot, not crowded, just sea.
Where Samsun lies and how it feels
Samsun lies on the central Black Sea coast, and Ordu is about two hours to the east. Samsun-Çarşamba airport (SZF) has connections to Europe, often via Istanbul.
Samsun is a working city with a sea. A promenade with cycle and running paths, industry on the edge, a university, hospitals, shopping centres. Less slope than Trabzon, more flat ground, and beaches in the surrounding area that locals use in summer.

Have a quick chatHow we help you in Samsun
In Samsun we coordinate with our network on the ground. We listen, search, have the property viewed, send you photos, video and an honest opinion, check the Tapu (title deed), the building permit and the Iskan (occupancy permit), and calculate the additional costs. Someone goes with you to the notary and the land registry. Advice costs nothing.
Additional costs in Samsun
On a purchase price of 100,000 euros, about 4,000 euros Tapu fee is added, plus a valuation report and DASK (compulsory earthquake insurance). In Samsun this is no different from anywhere else in Turkey. You get the calculation for your property from us before the purchase. More in the purchase costs guide and the buying process guide.
Before you fly to Samsun
Is Samsun a holiday resort?
No, Samsun is a working and university city with a sea. For you as a buyer that means steady demand for rental flats all year round rather than only in summer.
Which district is good for living?
Atakum on the coast is the district with new builds, the promenade and sea views, and that is where most people look. The city centre has resale properties and shorter distances.
What do the additional costs of buying come to?
Roughly 4 to 5 per cent of the purchase price: Tapu fee 4 per cent, valuation report from about 5,000 TL, DASK insurance. We work it out exactly for your property.
