Where Kargicak sits
Kargicak lies on Alanya’s eastern coastal corridor, around 16 km from the centre.
The district does not have a strong town centre of its own. Instead, the area is structured around the coastal highway, with residential complexes along the seafront and hillside housing rising behind them.
Compared to Mahmutlar, Kargicak is quieter and less commercial. Compared to Demirtas, it is more developed and easier to use year round.
What you're really buying
Property in Kargicak is mainly about newer stock and managed living.
Most of the market consists of apartment complexes built after 2005, with a significant share of newer projects completed after 2015. Buyers usually come here for:
- modern buildings
- sea views
- shared facilities
- a quieter setting than denser parts of Alanya
For buyers searching for property in Kargicak, the core appeal is straightforward: newer apartment stock in a coastal district that still feels more residential than resort driven.
Villas exist, but they are not the main product here. Kargicak is primarily an apartment market.
Kargicak property prices
Typical ranges in the local market are:
- Older 1+1 apartments in 2010s complexes: €80,000–€120,000
- Newer 2+1 apartments with sea view: €150,000–€240,000
- Larger penthouses and premium units: above this range depending on project and view
As always, pricing depends heavily on floor level, distance to the beach, management quality, and whether the sea view is protected long term.
Rental yields and market reality
Kargicak is often marketed as an easy rental location, but returns are seasonal.
Short term rental demand is strongest in the warmer months. Outside the main season, activity drops and management quality becomes much more important. Quoted yields can look attractive at first, but fees, maintenance costs, and quieter winter months reduce actual returns.
This makes Kargicak more suitable for buyers combining personal use with seasonal letting, rather than buyers expecting fully passive year round income.
Living in Kargicak
Kargicak works well for buyers who want a managed complex lifestyle rather than a neighbourhood built around cafés, shops, and street life.
That is the main trade off. You get:
- newer buildings
- facilities like pools and gyms
- a quieter coastal environment
But you give up some of the walkability and day to day convenience found in busier districts.
Getting around
Gazipasa-Alanya Airport is around 30 minutes away by car, making it the most practical airport for regular access.
Antalya Airport is about 2 hours away and offers more year round route options.
Alanya centre is usually around 20-25 minutes by car. Public transport works better in summer than in winter, so daily life is easier with a car.
Who should consider Kargicak
Kargicak is a good fit for buyers who want:
- a quieter eastern district
- modern apartment complexes
- sea views without the density of Mahmutlar
- a second home with seasonal rental potential
Who should look elsewhere
If you want a busier district with stronger street life, more restaurants, and broader rental demand, Mahmutlar is usually the stronger option.
If lower entry prices matter more than infrastructure, Demirtas may be worth comparing.
Kargicak sits between those two; more developed than Demirtas, calmer than Mahmutlar, and best suited to buyers who value newer stock and a quieter setting.
