Are seafront homes in Izmir still affordable compared to other coastal cities?
I’m looking for a home by the sea in Turkey, and Izmir caught my eye. I know Bodrum and Antalya are pricier — is Izmir still a more affordable option for beachfront or sea-view living?

Definitely. While prices have gone up a bit, real estate by the sea in Izmir is still more accessible than Bodrum or Antalya. In areas like Güzelbahçe or Narlıdere, you can find sea-view apartments starting around €180K. Villas closer to the water go from €400K upwards. What’s great is that you get the view, the breeze, and walkability to cafés and parks — without the tourist overload. The coast around İzmir is more residential and peaceful. You’ll also find good value in slightly older properties with solid bones that you can renovate. If sea-view living is the goal, Izmir gives you more per euro.
