The stunning Turkish Riviera, known for its sun-drenched beaches, rich history, and vibrant culture, is becoming more accessible than ever before. We are thrilled to share the latest news that solidifies Alanya’s position as a premier destination for tourism and, most importantly, for property investment: The Alanya-Gazipaşa Airport (GZP) is undergoing a major capacity expansion!
This is more than just an airport upgrade—it’s a game-changer for Alanya’s future, and a clear signal of confidence in the region’s robust tourism and real estate markets.
The Details: Bigger, Better, Faster Access to Paradise
Turkish Minister of Transport and Infrastructure, Abdulkadir Uraloğlu, recently announced the significant Alanya-Gazipaşa Airport Development Project. The goal? To dramatically increase both passenger and flight capacity to meet the region’s soaring demand.
The key expansions include:
- Terminal Expansion: The existing terminal building will be substantially enlarged, expanding by 2,648 square meters to reach a total service area of 9,067 square meters. This means a more comfortable, modern, and efficient experience for every traveler.
- New Facilities: The project also includes the construction of a new VIP area (585 sq. m.) and a new open car park for 169 vehicles.
- Increased Capacity: These upgrades will ensure GZP can welcome more domestic and international flights, cementing its status as the ideal gateway to Alanya and the surrounding districts.
For our clients and potential visitors, this means one thing: the journey from stepping off the plane to arriving at your Alanya property is now even faster and smoother.
Why Now is the Best Time to Visit and Invest
Infrastructure improvements like the GZP expansion do more than just improve travel; they directly enhance property values and long-term rental potential.
- Enhanced Accessibility: With increased flight options and a more comfortable airport experience, Alanya is now more connected than ever to Europe, Scandinavia, and the Middle East. This ease of access makes the region more desirable for holidaymakers and international second-home buyers alike.
- A Growing Destination: The investment in GZP is a powerful endorsement of Alanya’s future. As the government pours resources into improving infrastructure, the entire region—from the dynamic center to the desirable eastern districts—benefits from the projected growth in tourism and commerce.
- High-Value Real Estate: Real estate is intrinsically linked to accessibility. Properties in Alanya, especially in high-growth areas close to the airport and new infrastructure, are perfectly positioned for appreciation. Whether you are seeking a vacation home, a permanent residence, or a high-yield rental investment, the moment to act is now, before the full impact of these upgrades is reflected in market prices.
