Why Spend the Winter in Alanya

With 300 days of sunshine a year and mild Mediterranean winters, Alanya is one of Turkey’s most comfortable and affordable destinations for long stays.

Between November and March, temperatures average +15–18°C (59–65°F), and the sea remains warm enough for swimming.

Choosing a winter rental in Alanya allows you to live by the sea for 40–70% less than summer prices — while cafés, restaurants, and shops stay open year-round.

Alanya is especially popular among:

• 🧑‍💻 remote professionals and digital nomads,
• 👨‍👩‍👧 families with children,
• 👴 retirees looking for a relaxed lifestyle.

Best Neighborhoods for Winter Rentals

💡 Tip: For a convenient stay without a car, choose Mahmutlar or Oba — both have supermarkets, clinics, and beach access within walking distance.

Winter Rental Prices in Alanya

Additional monthly expenses:

• Maintenance fee (Aidat): €50–150 (covers pool, security, cleaning).
• Utilities: €10–20 (electricity, water, internet).

Even with all bills included, you can live comfortably in Alanya for €400–600 per person monthly — a fraction of what it costs in most European coastal cities.

Where to Find Apartments

🔹 Online Platforms

• Airbnb — select "long-term stay" filter.
• Booking.com — look for "monthly apartments."
• Sahibinden.com — Turkey's largest listing site (use translation tools).

🔹 Through a Licensed Real Estate Agency

Working with a licensed real estate agency ensures a safe and transparent rental process.

RestProperty, established in 2003, offers verified listings directly from property owners.

Every listing is personally checked, and contracts are prepared in English and Turkish for complete clarity.

Required Documents for Renting an Apartment in Turkey

When renting an apartment in Turkey, both the tenant and the property owner must provide a specific set of documents.

The process is straightforward, but having all papers ready helps ensure a fast and transparent rental agreement.

🔹 From the Tenant

1. Passport — a copy of all main pages.
2. Residence Permit (İkamet) — only if already obtained or being renewed. It is not mandatory for signing a rental agreement.
3. Deposit — usually equal to one month's rent, refundable at the end of the contract if the property is returned in good condition.

💡 Tip: Foreigners can legally rent apartments in Turkey without a residence permit, but many landlords prefer tenants who already have one.

🔹 From the Landlord (Property Owner)

1. Owner's Passport (or that of the authorized representative if acting under a power of attorney).
2. Power of Attorney (Vekaletname) — original and copy, if the contract is signed by a representative.
3. Numarataj Belgesi — an official municipal document confirming the property's registered address.
4. Tax Number (Vergi Numarası) — required for declaring and paying rental income taxes.

💬 When renting through RestProperty, all owner and property documents are verified in advance to ensure full legal compliance and protect both parties.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I rent for three months?

Yes. Under Turkish law, any rental longer than 100 days is considered long-term and does not require a tourism license.

Can I rent for a week or two?

Yes. RestProperty is TÜRSAB-licensed and offers fully legal short-term rental options for vacation stays.

Is there heating in apartments?

Most apartments are equipped with air conditioners with heating mode. Central heating systems are rare but unnecessary due to the mild winter climate.
