Gazipasa is one of the quieter coastal districts east of Alanya, and one of its biggest advantages is obvious straight away: the airport is only a short drive from town.
That convenience matters, but it is not the only reason buyers look here. Gazipasa is also less dense, less tourist-driven, and still cheaper than most of the Alanya coastline.
Quick facts
- Feel: Quiet working coastal town with a more local atmosphere
- Who it suits: Buyers looking for lower prices, airport access, and a more permanent residential setting
- Typical property: Older 2+1 apartments in low rise buildings, with some newer projects on the western side
- Price band: Around €50,000-€130,000 for most listings, with sea view new builds higher
- Airport: Gazipasa-Alanya Airport is around 10-15 minutes from the town centre
Where Gazipasa sits
Gazipasa is east of Alanya, along a quieter stretch of coast with mountains close behind the shoreline.
The town centre is compact and more functional than resort oriented. Most daily services are located close together, and the overall feel is more local than in the foreign buyer districts further west.
The western side, closer to Demirtas, has seen more new build activity. Further east, the coastline becomes less developed and more rural.
What you're really buying
Property in Gazipasa is mainly about value, simplicity, and access.
For buyers searching for property in Gazipasa, the main attractions are:
- lower prices than Alanya
- quick access to the airport
- a quieter and less commercial setting
Most available stock is still relatively modest. Older apartments in or near the town centre are common, while newer low rise developments are limited but growing.
Compared to larger markets, Gazipasa has fewer comparable sales and a thinner resale market. That can create buying opportunities, but it also means resale can take longer.
Living in Gazipasa
Gazipasa works better for buyers who want a normal Turkish town than for those looking for a resort lifestyle.
There are markets, local restaurants, and daily services, but much less foreign focused infrastructure than in Mahmutlar or central Alanya.
That is exactly the appeal for some buyers, but a disadvantage for others.
Winter is especially quiet, and some buyers may find the pace too slow for year round living unless that is exactly what they want.
Rental and investment reality
Gazipasa is not a high volume rental market.
Short term rentals can work in the right property, especially with sea views and good summer access, but demand is lower and more seasonal than in Alanya.
Long term rental is more realistic than holiday rental, but management options are also more limited. Buyers who are not based locally need to think carefully about maintenance and oversight.
This makes Gazipasa more suitable for buyers focused on lifestyle, lower entry cost, or longer term holding rather than quick resale or aggressive rental returns.
Getting around
Gazipasa-Alanya Airport is around 10-15 minutes away, which is one of the strongest practical advantages of the district.
Alanya is roughly 40-50 minutes west by road. Public transport exists, but a car makes life easier, especially for buyers living outside the immediate town centre.
Who it's for
Gazipasa suits buyers who:
- want a quieter coastal town
- value airport access
- are comfortable in a more local, less international environment
- are looking for lower entry prices than Alanya
Who should look elsewhere
If you want stronger resale liquidity, more foreign buyer infrastructure, or a busier lifestyle, Mahmutlar or central Alanya are usually better options.
Gazipasa works best for buyers who already know they prefer quieter places and do not need a resort style setting.
