Is it profitable to invest in housing on the coast of Mersin
Tourism in Mersin began to develop relatively recently – an active flow of tourists and infrastructure for them began to appear in 2015. Before that, the port city was an industrial center and lived mainly off the income from maritime trade.
Now Mersin has the status of a university center, and more than half of the residents here are under 25 years old. This has little effect on the nightlife of the city; after sunset the streets in the residential areas fall silent, activity persists only in a few points of the city.

A villa by the sea in Mersin is now cheaper than in Alanya or Antalya, as the tourist flow here is still less active. But the infrastructure of Mersin is already quite developed: there are children’s playgrounds, parks, boulevards, stores and cafes on the beachfront. All this creates an ideal environment for buying a home on the Mediterranean coast.
