Heating in Turkey

Today there is an increased demand for Turkish real estate from foreign buyers. Far-sighted investors focus on the advantages of the Turkish housing market, the main of which are: favorable prospects for the economic development of the country, the opportunity to make money on rental and resale, loyal conditions for obtaining a residence permit and moving to permanent residence.

For investors, purchasing property abroad – a serious step associated with real investment risks. Without precise formation of goals, assessment of the reliability of investments, a proven approach to the search for an object and its characteristics, and the purchase procedure, it will not be possible to conclude a profitable deal.

Our clients interested in Turkish apartments have a number of questions related to living in a resort country. One of these questions concerns what heating is like in Turkey in winter and, in particular, in popular Mediterranean resorts. The topic is really relevant on the eve of the cold season, so we decided to devote our latest expert review to it.

Winter in Turkey

Türkiye is located in the Balkans and the Anatolian Peninsula, washed by four seas. Climatic conditions vary significantly depending on the region of the country:

  • coastal areas of the Mediterranean, Aegean and Marmara Seas – Mediterranean climate;
  • Black Sea coast – moderately sea;
  • most of the state – continental;
  • at an altitude of more than 900–1000 meters above sea level – mountain climate

There are regions where it is hot and sunny in the summer, and in the winter months it often rains and cool winds blow. At the same time, in the north in winter precipitation falls in the form of snow – quite normal. In short, the weather in Istanbul and Ankara is significantly different from the weather in Antalya and Alanya.

Is it cold in Turkey in winter? To figure it out, let's look at the weather by month:

December

The first month of winter – favorable time for relaxation at the ski resorts of Uludag, Palandoken, Sarykamysh and others. During the day it is quite warm in the mountains, the thermometer does not fall below +2…-1°C, at night it can get colder to -10°C.

On the Mediterranean coast the average air temperature is +15°C. There are storms at sea, and it rains quite often.

January

In most of Turkey in January, the average temperature is about +12…+15°C during the day and +7…+8°C at night. As a rule, this is the coolest month of the year.

In Mediterranean resorts the air warms up to +14…+15°C. The water in the sea is cool, swimming is not recommended.

February

The average temperature in Turkey in winter, in February, is about +12…+13°C during the day and +3…+4°C at night. Sea water is about +14…+17°C. At the beginning of the month, there is an increase in air humidity, a significant amount of precipitation falls, and a cool wind blows. At the end of February, the rains fall less and less, and are replaced by sunny, fine days.

Heating options in Turkey

Considering pros and cons of living in Turkey, many foreigners, quite rightly, pay special attention to apartment heating . After all, it’s one thing – relaxing in your apartment several times a year, and completely different – come to the eastern state for the winter.

Is there heating in Turkey? Undoubtedly. However, centralized heating of apartment buildings, usual for most countries of the former CIS, is absent in many Turkish regions.

Real estate in Alanya, Antalya, Mersin and other resort cities are heated in several ways :

  1. Centralized heat supply. Central heating is available, for example, in some houses in Antalya and Mersin. Several apartment buildings, united into a residential complex by a common infrastructure or “site,” are connected to the boiler room. Natural gas and coal are used to heat buildings.
  2. Air conditioning. Heating in Turkey in winter using air conditioners – the most common way to quickly heat rooms. Literally all apartments in new residential complexes from the developer are delivered with high-quality split systems, which effectively help maintain a comfortable temperature in summer and winter. The main advantages of high-quality air conditioning systems are their efficiency, safety, ease of installation and use. Disadvantage – increased monthly electricity costs.
  3. Electric batteries. Installation of electric batteries – a good way to heat small apartments in winter. The convenience lies in the fact that, if desired, you can create a comfortable temperature in each individual room and at a certain period of time. For example, turn on heating appliances in the first half of the day in the living room and kitchen, and in the second - in the bedroom and children's room. Some owners supplement wall-mounted electric radiators with UFO-type heaters to heat certain areas of the living space.
  4. Installation of individual gas and electric boilers. To install the equipment, you will need a separate room, such as a storage room, or part of a terrace. The operation of the boiler can be adjusted depending on the desired temperature in the apartment. In some cases, owners agree and purchase one powerful boiler for several apartments or an entire floor.
Heating in Turkey

When choosing real estate, we advise you to focus not only on how houses are heated in Turkey, but also on the quality of double-glazed windows, finishing, waterproofing, as well as what construction technologies were used in the construction of the building.

When choosing an object among the secondary ones, evaluate the air conditioning and ventilation systems. If regular cleaning and repair of HVAC equipment is not enough, consider purchasing new air conditioners. In practice, modern equipment not only works more efficiently, but also more economically.

When purchasing apartments from a construction company at the start of sales, agree in advance on the installation of heated floors in the premises. This heating method is today recognized by many experts as the most comfortable and financially profitable.

Summary

Turkish winter – a wonderful time of year when you can enjoy pleasant walks along the embankment under the gentle sun, explore natural and historical attractions without queuing for tickets, go shopping in multi-brand shopping centers and boutiques, taste the best dishes of traditional Turkish cuisine in restaurants, go skiing for bright emotions resort. To ensure that wintering in Turkey brings you only positive emotions, it is important to choose the right apartment by the sea and an effective way to heat it in advance. Contact Point Property and we will help you purchase an apartment where you will be comfortable living not only in summer, but also in winter.
