The city of Mersin through our eyes

Once I happened to be visiting the wonderful city of Benidorm Spain. It is a wonderful city located on the coast, having a measured lifestyle and wonderful nature. 
I wished that the same city was in our native Turkey, which our guests adore. During my life in Turkey, I traveled, perhaps, the entire coast, having visited the west of Kash, Kalkan, Marmaris, Bodrum, as well as in the east, Alanya, Gazipasa, but I, alas, did not reach Mersin. 
After studying the projects, analyzing the demand for the city of Mersin, I visited this city. And what was my surprise when I found amazing similarities with a city in Spain - Benidorm. A unique community by the nature of the development, the presence of high-rise buildings, a view of the endless Mediterranean Sea, a luxurious promenade and much more, so much like the Spanish Riviera. 
Yes, the city of Mersin is really very similar to a Spanish city and thus looks very advantageous against the background of the Turkish real estate market. 
Now, I would like to draw attention to the differences and similarities of the two coastal cities that are beginning to compete with each other - Antalya and Mersin. 
Currently, Antalya has gained a very high turnover in sales to foreigners, so, for the first time, citizens of the Russian Federation came out on top in purchases in Antalya. High demand, as well as a number of other objective factors, increased real estate prices, which became unprofitable for many categories of buyers.
