Features of Plans of Alanya Houses

Anyone who is planning to buy an apartment on the Mediterranean coast, especially in Alanya, is likely to have problems with their apartment planning, floor numbering, etc. They noticed that there are many nuances and differences from our usual description. In this article, we will reveal the most important features of the vacation property.

As a rule, rooms in apartments are divided into living rooms and bedrooms. The layout in the first place always indicates the number of bedrooms, then the number of living rooms. For example: 1+1 means the apartment has 1 bedroom and a living room; 2+1 means the apartment has 2 bedrooms and 1 living room; 4 + 2 – means the apartment has 4 bedrooms and 2 living rooms (yes, that happens too, and it's often a two-story apartment). 

An American-style kitchen is a built-in kitchen set with mounted appliances located along one of the walls of the living room. It is worth noting that apartments with separate kitchens are still found in Alanya, but it is extremely rare. Modern residential complexes are mostly built with American kitchens. 

In modern residential complexes of Alanya, each apartment (even on the ground floor) has a large balcony / terrace and is often not alone. The warm climate and healing weather contribute to the fact that the inhabitants of the city spend most of their time on balconies and terraces, arranging family gatherings, breakfast, lunch and dinner there. Old houses on the balconies even have real barbecue ovens, heated with wood or charcoal.

One of the mysterious and important nuances of Turkish apartments is the area of ​​​​the apartment!

In Turkey, it is the total number of square meters along the outer perimeter of the room, that is, the area of the apartment also includes the balcony / terrace, the wall thickness and part of the staircase divided between all neighbors.

And another important and pleasant point: according to the law, the owner of the apartment owns part of the land on which the house is built.

Since 2017, the construction of studio apartments (0+1) has been prohibited by law in Turkey. The minimum area of ​​1 + 1 apartments is 28.5 square meters. Therefore, those who are interested in buying a studio apartment should understand that this option can be essentially pointless.
