The surge in rental prices in Antalya due to increased foreign influx post-Russia-Ukraine war has subsided, returning to normal levels. Ismail Çağlar, President of Antalya Chamber of Realtors, noted that as foreigners began returning and others found prices high, the rental market stabilized. Prices, which had spiked to 5-10 thousand liras, dropped from 30-40 thousand liras as foreigners realized the market reality. The construction sector’s revival in 2023 also contributed to more available housing and reduced rental costs.
Pink oleander trees have transformed the mountain slopes of Kozan’s Memili Neighborhood in Adana, Türkiye, into a colorful spectacle. Despite being known as the “flower of death” due to their toxicity, the blooming trees are attracting photographers and nature lovers.
Local visitor Filiz Sakin said, “Although it’s called poisonous, oleander is also used in medicine. The late bloom this year was worth the wait.” The striking scenery was also captured with aerial drone footage.
