The Credit crunch has caused all building work in the UK to cease, but despite this world wide crisis Fethiye continues to go full speed ahead building a variety of high quality homes.
Villas and apartments are still being built in the area despite a general down-turn in the economy.
There are homes from as little as £40.000 to £250.000 that are being snatched up by British buyers, ready to sit it out for the long term, and planning their retirement in the sunshine, joining over 3,000 expats now living in the area and enjoying their new life here.
It is not surprising that this trend will continue.

Electricity in Turkey is rising at a phenomenal rate, 60% last year and it is set to rise by more than 20% this September, as reported by Turkish newspaper agencies.
It is now a good time for all of us to seek out other types of energy to use to reduce our costs and most importantly reduce our C02 emissions.
Solar electricity panels are the most popular. Now with new panels arriving from Japan, there efficiency is even better than before and with new technology the prices have fallen making it an ideal time for you to invest in the future, and redefine the way you look at electricity and power in your home.
We have found a small shop in Fethiye dealing with Solar Energy, and Mr. Ahmet speaks a little English and is very helpful in finding the right solar system for your home and your budget. The shop is situated at Cumhuriyet Mah. 504. Sokak 10/A and they are contactable by telephone on 0252 612 1102 or 0532 684 5084.

Extension of the promenade continues at an amazing rate despite the credit crunch. The new harbor with its new wooden buildings gives a sense of modern art and a very modern feel to this area.
We can only presume these small units will soon become a hive of activity and life to the area, improving the standards further for locals and tourists alike.
Local fishermen are now anchored in the new harbor, and it should not be too long before we see fish being cooked and food being prepared alongside the new harbor. Fishing boats ensure that the customers get the freshest seafood possible.
