Buying Property in Turkey Warning

Last week John approached me through my Antalya Property website because he was in a spot of bother. Rather stupidly, as he says himself, he purchased a property through a guy who he met in a jewellery shop and who was trying his best to take him to the cleaners every way possible.

Fortunately, two days before he came here to try and sort out his Tapu amongst other things he contacted myself and I brought in my lawyer and business partner to help and the matter has now been fully resolved to his satisfaction.

I asked him if he wouldn’t mind a short interview as a way to warn people about how easy it is to be taken in by con men and about what he now thinks is the correct way to go about buying property in Turkey.

I hope you find it interesting.

Tahtali Visit

My good friend Callie and I were coming back from Olympos and decided to take a quick detour to go on the Cable Car to the top of Tahtali mountain. 

The cableway is the longest in Europe and the second longest in the world.  There are obviously spectacular views in every direction and there is a building at the top of the mountain to buy gifts and get some food and rest. You can stay for as long as you want and the car leaves every hour. 

It was my first time on a cable car and a really good experience although I did get a little nervy every time it passed over the big supporting pylons as the car shook forwards and backwards a few time before settling down again.  I wouldn’t like to do it on a windy day though, let’s put it that way. lol.

To get there, after you pass Kemer and Çamyuva try not to miss the small signs for Tahtalı Teleferik on the right.

It is open from 10:00 – 17:00 during winter months.
