Dear reader, Welcome to this 2nd edition of our online magazine.
Only criteria is that at least one staff here at 2Base has approved the place.
We are very pleased with the positive reception that our first magazine got and hope you will enjoy this first magazine of 2018 just as much. As always we have collected the best stories and information from our blog as well as social medias and added beautiful properties and other relevant information for those of your following the property market in Turkey.
Our hope is that the list can be an inspiration for you to try out new places and have even more good experiences here in Alanya.
Also we have added a new section to the magazine that we call "Recommended by 2Base".
What we do know is that 2Base is celebrating our 15th year as estate agent in Alanya.
Here we gathered a list of places in and around Alanya that we believe are worth visiting.
At our place the coffee is always hot and everyone is welcome for a chat about whatever is on your mind.
We have done so without looking if the place is big, small, well-known, unknown, expensive, cheap, Turkish, international or is found at page 1, 2 or nowhere in the tourist brochures.
Before you dive into the magazine and start reading we want to take the chance to wish you all a happy new year and we hope to see you all very soon in Alanya.
Should you know of a place that deserves to be on the list we are more than happy to hear from you. What the crystal ball has to say about the coming year no one knows and we can only guess.
On behalf of everyone here at 2Base.

Yesterday evening Alanyaspor played at home against Fenerbahce from Istanbul. Unfortunately Fenerbahce ended up leaving Alanya with all 3 points even though Alanyaspors biggest supporter was on the stands to cheer for the local heroes.

Recycling in Alanya Alanya is among the best municipalities in Turkey in terms of recycling waste. Recycling collection points were expanded in recent years and now there are a total of 10,041 recycling and waste collection points. While 15 thousand tons of packaging waste was collected in 2015, this figure was 26 thousand tons in 2016. According to mayor of Alanya Mr. Yücel the efforts will continue and that clean, local environment in Alanya is on the top of the agenda.
Biggest social area project in Alanya. The park location is in Büyükhasbahçe district, near Seyir Terası north side of Alanya. The project has two side, one side is for picnic areas and second side has cafeteria, playground, local shops, walking platform with watching corners and amfiteatr for 400 people. The park will be 50.000 m2. The park will have amazing Alanya view. Not far from city center and it will be fully designed park with many facilities. The project still under construction and hopefully this year it will be ready.
Our monthly inspection visits are in process and Gülüzar is getting ready for visits of this month. The rain season has started so apartment visits are very important.

Did you know that.. Saint Nicholas, known as Santa Claus all over the world, was born in Patara, an important Lycian town on the Mediterranean coast of Turkey. He was called a Santa Claus because he was a priest known for his charity. We hope that this will end the discussion once and for all: Santa is from Turkey, not Finland, Greenland or any other land.
We have just completed an unusual title deed transaction at the land registry office in Alanya. Due to seller being a total of 10 people and several of them have had namechanges since the initial deeds were issued and since one of the buyers was a foreigner the paper work was a bit more complicated and comprehensive that usual. A title deed transaction can normally be completed in a maximum of 3 or 4 days - and at times even faster - this time it took at couple of weeks. In the end a total of 67 signatures at the land registry office in Alanya was requried.
Sunset in Alanya can be more than beautiful.
Luckily the 10 sellers were all represented by just one person via power of attornies. In case they had all been presents to sign for themselves in person, the required number of signatures would have been approximately 166

Obtaining deed got even faster + new payment procedures for electricity To obtain the title deed for your Turkish holiday home is a swift and pretty straightforward procedure. Not that we recommend anyone trying to do this themselves, but for those of us doing this on a daily basis the rules, regulations and procedures are fairly easy to deal with. And now a new update to the Turkish laws has made it even simpler. As you can see on the picture it was a front page story in the local press. Previously any building needed to be approved for sale to foreigners by the Turkish military. This to prevent foreigners buying property in zones of military interest, land zones or other restricted areas where foreigners can not buy a property. In Alanya for example this has always been a pro forma process, since there are no such restricted areas. Most building already had the approval but sometimes a property was sold in a building that never got this military approval and so we had to apply for this which would delay the entire title deed process for several weeks. Good news is that all such restrictions has been removed from the Alanya area and the military permission is no longer needed for foreigners in
any building in the area. Be aware of new procedures for paying electricity And now what we have your attention please be aware of a minor but important change that electricity company CLK Akdeniz has implemented. Until now your electric meter had a subscription number. Unfortunately this number was only unique to the lcoal area of your house, so within a short distance two electric meters could hold the same subscription number. Therefor CLK Akdeniz has added a new number to all electric meters, which is a kind of a account number. Going forward this account number will be used to identify your electric meter subscription. The new account number is printed on your electric invoice that you receive every month. For those of you who use their Turkish bank for automatic payment of electricity it is a good idea to check if your bank is still paying the monthly bill after this update. For those of you who let 2Base take care of the bills, we of course have it all under control

Certified agents are not always competent Lets be honest! To establish a real estate agency in Alanya does not require a lot. Neither any higher education nor special skills or requirements are needed. Only demand that you must fulfill is to complete an evening training course, which takes no more than a couple of weeks. So it is far from a comprehensive education to teach you about important subjects such as buying contracts, financial security of the payment or guidelines for moral and ethics as an estate agent. Not that long ago we actually had an interesting experience where the responsible person for issuing licenses for estate agents in Alanya proudly told us about all the good he
28
had done for the sector in Alanya which was making it even easier to get the permission to open a real estate agency and get the needed license. In our opinion he should have spend his time and influence by securing and highering the quality of the sector but it shows how unfortunate the entire sector and agents are thinking - which is thinking of themselves and not of you as a customer. This has created an overflow of authorized estate agents in Alanya but a lack of those who are competent and qualified. At 2Base we believe that it pays of to be a bit different and we always think of the customer before thinking of ourselves. We believe this will end up securing us more sales and more customers.
Turkeyblog.2base.com
But how do you choose the right estate agent in Alanya when not even a real estate certificate will guarantee you a qualified and competent agent? We suggest that you take a look at some of the following factors. Company or private person Is the estate agent a part of a company with an office and colleges, or is the person working more as a private person? We recommend you to only use agents that are a part of a company with access to an office (as in his own office and not just an office that he "borrows" from a friend just for the occasion) and by that also an organization that can assist, help and support the estate agent during the entire process. References Does the estate agent and his company have good references and do you know others who did also use this agent and his company? Communication If English is not your mother tongue or you do not fell completely comfortable communicating in English you should use an agent that speaks your mother tongue. Information Do you automatically receive the information that you need or are you only informed when asking? Make sure that your estate agent is informing you from A to Z and that you dont have to ask for everything all the time.
Gut feeling Take a deep breath, use your common sense and ask yourself the question: What does my gut feeling tell me about the agent and would i trust this person if we where to do business in my home country? We are often contacted by property buyers who have been offered properties from waiters, jewelers or persons who themselves think they are competent estate agents. Usually none of them are and the buyer feels this and contacts us so that a professional company can be involved in the trade. Unfortunately we are sometimes also contacted by those who did not contact us from the beginning and therefor ended up in problems and now wants our help to solve their problems. When it comes to choosing an estate agent in Alanya you must be very critical and only deal with agents that you absolutely trust and who besides talking can also put actions behind their words. Unfortunately it is not enough that the agent is authorized and holds a real estate license. You must also make sure that the person is competent. When that person is found the way to your dream property has become a lot easier...
Here are a couple of examples on information that you should always get in written and without having ask. - Sales presentation of the property. - Financial overview of the property including an overview showing all expenses and trade costs. - Overview that shows how the trade will progress and what the time line is. - Buyers guide that will inform you about all general aspects of buying a property in Turkey.

Vocabulary for property in Turkey Even the process is more or less the same, purchasing a property in Turkey is of course different then doing so in your home country.
Sigorta // Insurance
One of the biggest differences are actually the language since Turkish can be a bit hard to understand for most.
Tapu // Title deed
Still a lot of Turkish words are surviving without translation when the topic is property in Turkey which can make if hard to understand exactly what is going on and what the exact meaning is.
Ipotek // Mortgage
This is why we have made this vocabulary for property in Turkey that covers the Turkish words that are often used without being translated. Kapıcı // Caretaker Görevli // Also caretaker but a bit more polite Yönetici // Administrator
Belediye // Municipality
Tapu ofisi // Land registry office
Aidat // Owners union fee Uydu // Satellite dish Vergi dairesi // Tax office Kara defteri // Decision book and protocol book Oy // Vote Vekalet // Power of attorney
Ferdi iskan // Habitation certificate and permission to use the apartment
Iki tane soğuk Efes, lütfen // Two cold Efes beer, please. The perfect way to celebrate a successful property investment.
Ön iskan // Approval of the building permission and that all authorities involved have approved the building.
Are some words missing from the list? Then send us a message and we will add it immediately..

4 great activities for kids on a rainy day in Alanya Even that most advertisement about Alanya claims the opposite the sun does actually not shine all the time. Yes, we know. It might come as a shocking surprise but at times we do get both rainy, grey, stormy and windy days in Alanya. The big question is what to do when the sun decides to take a break. Especially kids can be very inpatient and hard to entertain when outdoor activities are limited. We have therefor made a list of 4 great activities for kids on a rainy day in Alanya. Number 1 - Play the flipper machine All kids loves game lands and luckily one is to be found in the shopping center "ALANYUM" easy accesible on the 35 meter road in Cikcilli. The 3 storey shopping center has a foot court and gameland on the topfloor. Here you will find all kinds of arcade games, flipper machines, air hockey and other entertaining games and activities for kids of all ages.
Number 2 - Eat some pop corn There are several cinemas in Alanya showing both foreign and Turkish movies. So on a rainy day catching a movie is definitely a great idea. Just be aware that some movies are dubbed, while others run in original language with Turkish subtitles. For a list of cinemas and what is showing check out this link: www.orneksinemalari.com Number 3 - Be cultural Admitted, this one might not be exactly what your kids would love to do. So we recommend making them accept it by promising pizza and cola afterwards.Because for this third idea we want you to visit the archaeological museum of Alanya, which is situated close to the waterpark in the city center at the Damlatas Cave area.This museum has a small but fine indoor collection that is worth a visit. Number 4 - road rage Just out of the city on the Kestel-side of the Dim River you will find an indoor go-cart circuit. This is great fun for the older part of the family.Just remember to drive carefully and take care of each other. May the best driver win So a rainy day in Alanya does not have to mean less fun - just a little less sun.

Best places for having your coffee in Alanya Even that Turkey is a real "tea-drinkers" country also a lot of coffee is consumed. Especially the younger generations has accepted coffee, and cafe-visits with friends are getting increasingly popular. This is no different in Alanya where several of the bigger European coffee chains has established themselves side by side with the local coffee shops. We therefor want to provide you with this miniguide to the best places for having your coffee in Alanya. Starbucks at the Atatürk statue on the main street We of course have to start with Starbucks, who has several coffee shops in Alanya. The very first opened is situated close to the Atatürk statue on the main street, in an area where several coffee shops and cafes are found
38
side by side. Besides the usual selection in freshly brewed coffee drinks also cakes and sandwiches are served - just as we know it from other Starbucks Coffee shops around the word. May we recommend the simple, black and always freshly brewed filter coffee... Robert's Coffee at Damlatas/ Cleopatra beach With beautiful and nice decor this is one of the absolute top cafes in Alanya. If you enjoy sitting enjoying life at a cafe, a visit to Robert's Coffe at Damlatas is a must when visiting Alanya. Also food, snacks and cakes are served, so Robert's Coffee is always worth a visit, that can easily be combined with beaching or a walk in the nearby park and recreational area. Shakespeare Bistro at the Atatürk statue at the main street/ eastern beach Another popular cafe is Shakespeare Coffee & Bistro, where also music are played during
Turkeyblog.2base.com
weekends. Sit at the street side and watch daily life as it
Tip A lot of restaurants do not serve real coffee, but instead powder coffee/ instant coffee.
happens, or relax inside in the cozy and appealing cafe area. And not to forget: The pizza at Shakespeare in Alanya is really, really good and the place is also open for evening dinner.
Do therefor always remember to ask the waiter how the coffee in the restaurant is made, to avoid the disappointment of having a instant coffee served after a nice meal.
Juice and Friends Located behind Starbucks at the AtatĂźrk statue Juice and Friends is tugged nicely away from the noisy main street. Modern contemporary interior and menu that also offers various and freshly made juices. The place might not be easy to find but it is surely a great place for both local and foreigners.
Instead go to one of real coffee places and get a freshly brewed coffee there...
In Turkey coffee will never be as popular as tea. But one thing is for sure. A freshly brewed cup of your favorite coffee drink is always to find in Alanya.

Who celebrates christmas in Alanya? The obvious answer to the question is "everyone that lives here does"... For most people Christmas is more of an event than a religious thing meaning that it is - but of course in its own way - celebrated by everyone even in a Muslim country like Turkey. Also no shop in Turkey is blind to the commercial aspect of Christmas so currently all shopping is accompanied by Christmas decorations and jingle bells. Some even claim that Santa actually comes from Turkey and not the North pole, Finland, Greenland or anywhere else. With that said celebrating Christmas in Alanya is of course very different than celebrating it at home. The special Christmas mood that you find in your home country can not be replicated anywhere, no matter how hard you try. People who choose to travel to Alanya during the holidays do so because they want to get away from all the Christmas activities at home, so they surely do not mind. And all of us living permanently here in Alanya do not have same expectations to Christmas as we would normally have.
Instead we make Christmas our own way and try to mix some of the traditions we know from home with the opportunities that are available in Alanya. Most of the Christmas food you can actually cook more or less like you would do it at home. Some ingredients might not exactly be the same, but it is more or less possible to cook at full Christmas meal just like the one your mother would have cooked for you. Unless you want to drive to the mountains and cut down a tree, you might have to settle for a plastic one and you for sure wont get any snow. It might get cold, windy and rainy but snow is definitely never going to happen in Alanya. Plenty of restaurants offer Christmas dinners and entertainment, but we recommend staying at home since we believe that Christmas is best celebrated at home. In the end it is all about what works for you but our best recommendation is to take the best of your home Christmas, adjust it to living abroad and then spice it up with what Alanya has to offer. One of our favorite traditions is to follow Santa deliver his presents all over the world via the googlofficial Santa Tracker

OUR HISTORY We established our company back in 2003. At that time the property market focusing on foreign buyers was new. Since then a lot has happened. Hundreds – if not thousands – of real estate agents in our areas have come and gone. We are still here, even many of our valued staff are still the same and they have helped us grow into the strong, valued and professional company that we are today.

The joy of trying out new things are on of lifes small secrets. This is why we have gathered our best tips for places in and around Alanya that we believe are worth visiting. We have done so without looking if the place is big, small, well-known, unknown, expensive, cheap, Turkish, international or
is found at page 1, 2 or now where in the tourist brochures. Only criteria is that at least one staff here at 2Base has approved the place. Furthermore we have added links for the places web site, Facebook and Tripadvisor. This allows you to do your own research before visiting the places. We wish you the best of luck in trying out new things.
