Mersin, formerly known mainly as the main port of Turkey, is now increasingly gaining popularity as a tourist and investment city of the country. The dynamics of development is such that over the past year, real estate prices in Mersin increased by 194%. Despite this, the cost of housing is much lower than on the Antalya coast and there is still an opportunity to buy real estate at very affordable prices. It's time to sort out the areas of this attractive metropolis.
