The Mediterranean coastline is the playground of the rich and the famous. Therefore, it is no surprise that you’ll find that many of the world’s most famous personalities have a holiday destination around these waters. As part of this magnificent region, it is no different when it comes to Turkey. According to the trusted team at Prime Property Turkey, there are several of the villas around Istanbul that have quite familiar owners and while they are always respecting their clients’ privacy, they did allow us to take a peep into the world of the rich and famous that adorns the beaches of this magnificent area.

While the British royal family makes no secret about their love for Turkey and their real estate it is not only the blue blood of the world who finds living in Turkey enticing. Here you will find a strong presentation from those who feature on the silver screen. Let’s start with Jennifer Lopez and the magnificent mansion that she purchased in 2012. While nearly every neighbourhood in Istanbul lends itself to be an alluring location, Lopez opted to call a part of Asian Istanbul, Atasehir her home.

... However, the locals to the city are so used to seeing the familiar and famous, here you will find no starstruck stares and therefore Lopez is only one of the many famous Hollywood heroes who opt to come to the city to relax away from the limelight. Another famous couple who owned keys to one of the many magnificent villas around is Angeline Jolie and Brad Pitt.

From the silver screen to the silver boots and as we enter the world of sports. We must kick-off by naming sports stars opting to take a break in Istanbul with Christiano Ronaldo. In 2015, Ronaldo forked out just below $3.5 million for his property in Izmir. The property became his very comfortable holiday home. While Ronaldo earned his fame both for his talents and his very attractive looks, we are now moving on to another beauty in the world of fame.

Supermodel Naomi Campbell also favours Istanbul as a preferred location. Today Campbell has moved on from the catwalk and is also an actress, tried her hand quite successfully behind the mic and is a highly respected businesswoman. Where does someone who has achieved success in so many diverse fields come to unwind? Playa De Cleopatra in Turkey’s Gulf of Gokova which many is also familiar with as Seder. While Campbell received the property as a birthday gift from her boyfriend in 2011 already, the model loves her property that features the excellence in craftsmanship of a highly respected Spanish architect who created a work of art featuring the Egyptian eye of Horus. Campbell believes that this is to protect her while she is relaxing and recuperating in the Turkish climate.

However, when you opt to make Turkey your home by investing in property, the reasoning is often not to live right next door to an idol but many other reasons that are linked to the beauty of the scenery and enjoying the most magnificent weather all year round. Also, the fact that the country is doing exceptionally well financially and allows you to simply enjoy the opportunity to immerse yourself in the lives of the friendly people with their welcoming personalities.

Turkey is a sought-after destination that holds many benefits to locals and foreigners alike. Regardless of whether you are part of the rich and famous or living a simple life surrounded by those you love, Turkey awaits you. The team at Prime Property Turkey is ready to assist you when you are keen on making this your home.
