Burhaniye is not one single place but a collection of areas with quite different characters. Below we compare them for lifestyle, access and investment.
Burhaniye is one of the coastal districts of Balıkesir province on the Edremit Gulf. On one side lie the forests of the Kaz Mountains, on the other the shallow, calm bays of the Aegean. Olive growing forms the economic backbone of the district, while the coastal strip has been a favoured location for holiday and retirement homes for decades.
Although it is close to busier centres such as Ayvalık and Edremit, Burhaniye has kept its own quiet character, which makes it stand out for anyone looking for a calm place to live all year round. Prices that remain reasonable compared with the more popular points on the gulf keep investor interest alive as well.
