Turkey short-let questions
What occupancy should I expect in Turkey?
The median across Turkey markets with live data is 30%. Individual cities vary widely, and occupancy within a city varies more than between cities — the street matters more than the market.
Do I need a licence to run an Airbnb in Turkey?
Istanbul is the only Turkey market we hold verified rules for, and it does require a licence or registration to let short-term. The rule is set locally, so it tells you nothing about the rest of the country — check the city page for wherever you're buying.
How many Airbnb listings are there in Turkey?
12,663 active listings across the 1 Turkey market we track — counting only listings with at least one booking in the last 12 months, so dormant listings don't inflate the figure.
Methodology: per-city medians are computed from the latest Inside Airbnb snapshot, filtered to active listings (≥1 booking in the last 12 months). Annual revenue is the median per-listing gross.
