It’s no lie that prices have increased, much like in other tourist hotspots across the globe, and there has been a notable decline in the number of tourists from Russia and Ukraine, however, with many hoteliers in the region actually deciding to increase their rates by only 30% compared to the Industry standard of 50%, it led to a notable resurgence in bookings especially from the UK, Germany and Poland.
Antalya has also seen an influx of foreigners buying property within the region to the tune of 110,000 homes which has led to increased accommodation options for holiday makers.
