Fly to Let owners with property around Didim on the West coast of Turkey will benefit from an increase in tourism when the new $50,000,000 Dogus Marina is completed in April 2009.

Although it is not fully built the development is already boosting tourism and trade in nearby locations and on neighbouring Greek islands, including Samos.

With a capacity of 1100 yachts, D-Marin will be the largest marina of its kind in Turkey. Murat Yaprak, D-Marin Didim’s Manager, expects the marina will mainly attract luxury yachts, an important asset in tourism.

He said: “D-Marin Didim will generally host mega-yachts, between 75 and 100 metres in length. It will have a capacity for 650 yachts at the pier and a further 450 yacht space in the sea."

The marina will feature many other facilities, such as gas stations, banks, swimming pools, restaurants, culture centres, cafeterias, shopping malls, sport centres, a beach club, heliport, a yacht club and yachting equipment shops. The state of the art facilities at the marina mean it is set to become an attraction in itself.

Situated 41 miles from the Greek island of Samos – which also has a new marina - the facilities and sheer scale of D-Marin Didim will significantly increase tourism in the area and on nearby islands.

Robin Barrasford, Managing Director of Barrasford & Bird Worldwide, the marketing company behind the development of the marina at the five star Halcyon Hills resort, sees great future potential for the region.

“Both Greece and Turkey have a blossoming upmarket tourism trade, and yet the supply of suitable facilities and accommodation for this market is playing catch-up. The completion of the D-Marin at Didim and the completion of the Halcyon Hills marina a few years later will be testament to the implementation of government initiatives to increase upmarket tourism on the islands.”

Opening the tourism market to twelve months of the year naturally extends the need for accommodation and will increase property prices in these regions as rental demand also steadily increases.

Property buyers at the Halcyon Hills Marina & Spa Resort will benefit from this new development. Luxury properties at the Halcyon Hills resort start at £160,000 with fractional ownership available on selected properties. Assisted 100 percent finance is available.
