There's no legal definition of 'first line' in Turkey. Here's how the market actually works — and what it means for price.
🏖️
First Line
0 – 300 m
Premium properties with direct beach access. Limited supply, strict building regs. Best price stability through market cycles. Expect 20–40% markup over second line.
Premium: +20–40%
🚶
Second Line
300 m – 1 km
The sweet spot. Bulk of new complexes with pools, playgrounds, gyms. Many offer free shuttle to beach. Comparable lifestyle at significantly lower cost.
Sweet spot: best value
🏘️
Near the Sea
1 – 3 km
Most affordable entry point. Often better daily infrastructure — shops, restaurants, schools, banks all walkable. Drive or dolmuş to beach. Great for year-round living.
Entry point: lowest prices
