FAQ
Is Bodrum too expensive for the citizenship route?
Usually the opposite — prime Bodrum property often exceeds the USD 400,000 minimum, so the threshold is rarely the constraint; suitability and resale are.
Is Bodrum a year-round market?
It is primarily seasonal — plan around a summer-weighted rental and usage calendar.
