Field notes
The post-2022 Russian wave reshaped the housing market here more than anywhere else in Turkey — rents in Konyaaltı and Lara are genuinely up vs pre-war but still cheap by Mediterranean standards. Old Town (Kaleiçi) is the tourist anchor; Muratpaşa is where nomads tend to actually live. Turkey's DNV pilot is maturing; tourist e-visa works for most short-to-medium stays.
