Trabzon is known not only for its sea, mountains, rivers, and historic ports, but also for its philosophy of life. Today, this city is synonymous with a "second home" for many families from the Middle East. Investors, especially from Jordan and Iraq, are no longer looking for Dubai or Istanbul, but for a quiet place amidst the tranquil beauty of the Black Sea. Why Trabzon? Because it offers a lifestyle far from the noise of crowded cities, boasts clean air, respects religious values, and is much more affordable. While you'd have to pay thousands of dollars to buy a similarly high-quality home in Amman, Jordan, or Erbil and Sulaymaniyah, Iraq, in Trabzon, you can own a secure, modern apartment or villa overlooking the sea, surrounded by nature, and for half that amount, or even less. The projects in this city are not just about stone and concrete. It offers peace, tranquility, and the opportunity for family life. Waking up to the sound of the sea every morning in villas on the coast of Beşikdüzü, sipping your coffee while admiring the view in the evening, and watching your children play in the garden—this isn't just a choice of residence for Jordanian and Iraqi families; it's a lifestyle choice. New apartment projects in Akçaabat are especially ideal for small families. Equipped with modern architecture, elevators, security systems, and children's play areas, these residences offer a practical and affordable solution for meeting their daily needs. These projects, starting at $140,000, have become very popular among Iraqi families because you're not just buying a home here; you're building a secure future. Areas like Maçka and Sürmene, on the other hand, are preferred by higher-income families. The wooden villas in Maçka, with mountain views, are perfect for those seeking tranquility amidst snow-covered nature in winter. Instead of traveling to Istanbul in the summer, wealthy Jordanian families spend three to four months in Trabzon, enjoying a peaceful and relaxing holiday with their families. In winter, Trabzon, with its warm climate, serves as their "winter summer" home. Sürmene, however, isn't content with the atmosphere of a fishing village. Arab families living here buy fresh fish at local markets, recite Arabic prayers in the mosque, and share meals with their neighbors. In this context, Trabzon has become not only a real estate buying destination but also a center of cultural harmony. The sounds of Arabic prayers in mosques, the smell of hummus and kibbeh in restaurants, and Arabic phrases spoken on the streets—these are now commonplace. There are also significant financial advantages. Any foreign citizen can freely purchase property in Turkey. A special loan system is available for citizens of Jordan and Iraq. You can purchase the remaining 70% with a 30% down payment and a loan from banks in Trabzon. Furthermore, as of 2025, the value-added tax on purchases made within the first two years will remain very low, making investment much more attractive. There are also excellent opportunities for those looking to rent. During the summer months, villas, especially in Beşikdüzü and Sürmene, can even cover annual expenses with daily rentals. While many use them for their own families, some choose to rent them to tourists during the summer months, generating passive income. Trabzon doesn't sell you a house. It offers you a life. Raising a childhood here, visiting your parents on summer vacations, living in a different, peaceful environment without losing touch with your own culture... These aren't just dreams; they're now reality. If you're coming from Jordan or Iraq and thinking, "This will be my home one day," you don't have to wait any longer. Trabzon has projects tailored for you in every corner. You can meet with Arabic-speaking consultants, take a free three-day, two-night tour, watch a 360-degree virtual tour, or even book your home by paying through WhatsApp. Trabzon was once a tourist-only destination. Now, it is the home of many Arab families, their hearts, and their futures. And this path is only beginning.—Prepared in collaboration with the Trabzon Metropolitan Municipality, the Trabzon Chamber of Commerce, and the Turkish Investment Support and Promotion Agency (TİKA).
