Such objects in Alanya are in demand among foreign buyers of real estate. Since the building plots in the city center are not so large, residential complexes are built in a compact format. Only a few facilities offer a large indoor infrastructure for recreation. Depending on the location of the house, the beach is from 50 m to 1.5 km away.

Oba is a popular area, part of Alanya, ecologically clean air, equipped beaches, high service and comfort attract wealthy foreigners. A cozy atmosphere is created by a beautiful embankment, green squares and parks, children’s and sports grounds. The infrastructure is developed. Guests will be able to visit shopping malls, the oriental market, shops, take an active holiday on the Dean River or go to the valley of the same name. The population of the district is 14,000 people. The nearest airport is Gazipasa Airport, 35 km away. Geographically, the Oba district is located on the coast, the beaches are clean, well-groomed and environmentally friendly. Thanks to these indicators, they were awarded the “Blue Flag” badge of distinction. Along the coastal zone with a length of 3 km. there are sandy and pebble areas. Every year, before the start of the season, new sand and small pebbles are brought. Before updating the coverage of the coastal zone, the compositions are sifted through a fine mesh.

Transport accessibility allows you to get to the center of Alanya in less than 10 minutes. It borders with the districts of Jikjilli and Tosmur.

Jikcilli is one of the central districts of Alanya. When you live in a megalopolis, sometimes you want to escape from the hustle and bustle of the city. Get away from noisy streets and large crowds of people. But at the same time, I do not want to go far from all the city amenities at all, and it is important that the area is modern and comfortable. And not some inaccessible suburb of the city. In Alanya, there is just such an area, which is located just four kilometers from the city center, at the foot of the mountains. And at the same time, at some distance from the central avenues, noisy hotels and tourist infrastructure. This is the district of Jikjilli. The most peaceful area of Alanya is located parallel to the Oba district, behind the bypass road and extends towards the mountains. Almost all the houses and complexes here were built quite recently. By the way, multi-storey buildings are allowed here, so there are a lot of high-rise buildings in Jikjilli with a chic infrastructure, large swimming pools and a green area. There is not a single hotel in Jikjilli, so tourists are infrequent guests here. Foreigners come here to rest either in their own apartments or rent apartments. A huge plus of Jikjilli is that there are no noisy discos and music bars. So, if you like to go to bed early, nothing will prevent you from falling asleep sound and healthy.

Jikjilli is located about 800-1000 meters from the sea. But at the same time, even walking to the nearest beach will not take long.

The closest from Jikcilli to the beaches of Oba, but literally in 15 minutes you can drive to the most beautiful beach of Alanya – Cleopatra Beach.

Despite the fact that Jikjilli is a completely non-touristic area, you can find everything you need for both recreation and permanent residence here. To begin with, the locals do not even have to go to the center for shopping. There is a huge Kipa supermarket near the bypass road, and this is the largest Kipa in the whole city. They sell food, household chemicals, and cosmetics. And also in this building there is a huge shoe store.

On the border of Jikcilli and Oba is the Alanium shopping center, which contains shops of the most popular Turkish clothing brands.

There are a lot of various restaurants and cafes in Jikjilli. Here you can find both popular fast food chains: Burger King, and cafes serving Turkish and European cuisine.

There is also an excellent bakery here. Imagine how you go out on the balcony of your own apartment with a mug of hot tea or coffee and take a bite of a freshly baked crispy simit or a bun bought in a bakery. Isn’t this the perfect start to the day?

If you are a fan of sports, then again you are in Jikjilli. It is here that the largest sports complex in the city is located, where there is not only a modern huge gym, but also fitness, yoga and other group classes

There are schools, pharmacies, a beauty salon in Jikjilli, as well as chain supermarkets: Bim, Sok, A101 and many small grocery markets where you can always buy basic necessities.

Jikjilli is surrounded by picturesque green mountains from the north. In Alanya, the green color prevails all year round.  Therefore, looking into the distance, you find peace of mind, even if you are very tired at work or something has caused stress. This is probably why Europeans often buy real estate in Turkey in Jikjilli. Since this area is located on a hill, many apartments here offer sea views. And Jikjilli is located surrounded by orange groves. Therefore, twice a year, when citrus trees bloom, the area is filled with a unique delicate aroma. Jikcilli is an ideal area for those who dream of buying an apartment in Turkey in a quiet, green place, while within walking distance of all infrastructure amenities and a few minutes drive from the historical center of Alanya.

Tosmur is a quiet, cozy area stretching along a picturesque mountain river – Tosmur has long been loved by those who want to escape from the hustle and bustle of the city, closer to nature. It is surrounded by orange orchards and picturesque mountains, there are no hotels here, so it is never noisy. But at the same time, Tosmur has all the amenities of the urban infrastructure necessary for both living and comfortable rest.

Dim Tea – the pearl of Tosmur

You can talk endlessly about the beauty of mountain rivers. The murmur of the water is fascinating, and the coolness cools even on the hottest summer day. The Alanian Tosmur is just located on the shore of the blue artery. The Dim Chai River can rightfully be called the pearl of this area.

It originates in the Toros Mountains and descends to the sea. The water temperature in the river does not rise above 15 degrees even in summer. This means that it is always cool on the shore.

Agree, when it’s +35 outside, it’s so nice to sit in one of the cafes on the bank of a mountain river, breathe in the refreshing air, enjoy the noise of water streams running to the sea.

Along the riverbank in Tosmur there are restaurants and cafes where you can have a delicious lunch or dinner, or just have a cup of tea or coffee. Moreover, the menu is always very affordable prices.

Along the blue artery, the city administration has installed gazebos that are literally drowned in flowers. Isn’t it perfect for evening walks?

By the way, you can even fish in Dim Chai. And in the upper part, closer to the mountains, there are many fish restaurants.

There are no hotels in Tosmur, so the only foreign tourists here are apartment owners in Turkey and tenants who prefer independent holidays.
