Property in Demirtas

Demirtas: Alanya’s quiet east, close to the airport

Demirtas lies about 20–25 kilometres east of Alanya centre, beyond Kargicak. It is one of the calmest areas on the coast: there are no large resort hotels, and the seafront is lined with beaches, banana plantations and orchards. Its biggest advantage is proximity to Gazipaşa airport — about a 20-minute drive. Mahmutlar is 10–15 minutes away by car and Alanya centre about half an hour.

Sea and nature

Demirtas’s beaches are wide and uncrowded even in August, the water is clean, and the sunsets are among the most beautiful on the coast. Behind the area rise pine-covered mountains dotted with picturesque villages that are perfect for walks. The rural atmosphere blends with the modern residential complexes built here in recent years.

Infrastructure

• shops, bakeries, cafés and fish restaurants by the sea;
• primary schools and a local health centre; larger clinics and hospitals in Mahmutlar and the centre;
• buses along the main road towards Mahmutlar, Alanya and Gazipaşa;
• a car makes everyday life much easier.

What to buy in Demirtas

New complexes with pools and gardens are being built in Demirtas, along with villas and townhouses. Many projects are a few minutes from the sea, and some sit on the slopes with coastal views. Land is cheaper here than closer to the centre, so apartments and houses are noticeably more affordable and complex grounds more spacious. Plots of land are also on the market, including agricultural land — before buying such a plot it is important to check its permitted use.

Who Demirtas suits

• frequent flyers who value being close to Gazipaşa airport;
• buyers on a budget who want a new home and plenty of space;
• lovers of peace, nature and uncrowded beaches;
• investors expecting prices to rise as the eastern coast develops.

Rentals

Short-term rental demand in Demirtas is lower than in the centre, but apartments with a pool near the sea still attract guests — families looking for a relaxing holiday. Long-term rentals suit remote workers who are not tied to the town.

Prices and investment potential

Demirtas is one of the most affordable areas on the Alanya coast: land is cheaper, so new apartments and houses cost less than in Mahmutlar or Kargicak. The area is at an early stage of development, which brings both potential and risk. On the one hand, as Gazipaşa airport grows and new complexes are built, prices could rise faster than the Alanya average. On the other hand, liquidity is still lower, and a resale may take longer. That makes Demirtas better suited to people buying to live in or to hold for the long term rather than for a quick resale.

Distances and transport

• the sea — from 100 metres to 1.5 kilometres;
• Gazipaşa airport — about 18 kilometres, roughly 20 minutes;
• Mahmutlar — about 10 kilometres, 10–15 minutes;
• Alanya centre — 22–25 kilometres, about 30 minutes;
• Antalya airport — about 145 kilometres, 2 hours 15 minutes.

Tips for buyers

• when buying land, check its status: agricultural plots (tarla) cannot be built on for housing without a change to the zoning plan;
• in a newly developing area, choosing a reliable developer is especially important — see their completed buildings and talk to residents;
• ask when the complex will receive its occupancy permit: without it you cannot get a full condominium title deed or sign utility contracts directly;
• check the bus timetable — services are less frequent than in Mahmutlar;
• farming continues near the banana greenhouses — visit the surroundings at different times of day.

Pros and cons

• Pros: 20 minutes to Gazipaşa airport, affordable prices, new complexes with spacious grounds, quiet beaches.
• Cons: distance from Alanya centre, modest local infrastructure, hard to manage without a car.
