Turkey Foreign Ownership Info
The laws surrounding foreign freehold ownership in Turkey have been relaxed and simplified in recent times, but foreign ownership is still based on reciprocity. If a foreign investor comes from a country where citizens of Turkey are allowed to buy freehold real estate, then the overseas buyer will be given permission to buy property in Turkey.
Even if you do qualify to buy a private island in Turkey, there are restrictions based on location and function. Land in Turkey is allocated a specific use based on the zoning schemes of the nearest town or village. If an island sits in an area that has been deemed agricultural, problems will arise unless you plan to use the island for the same purpose.
