New allocation decision from the Ministry of Culture and Tourism: The list also includes forest lands
The Ministry of Culture and Tourism announced the public properties to be allocated for tourism investments. The list published by the Ministry included numerous public lands in Antalya, Muğla, Balıkesir, Batman, and Ardahan that were put up for allocation to investors. The list also featured forest-classified lands as well as Kesire Burnu, approximately 430 acres valued at 4.3 billion TL, which had previously come into the spotlight due to zoning plans and ownership lawsuits.
According to the decision published in the Official Gazette, the area on parcel 12 in block 104, located in Göynük Neighborhood of Kemer district in Antalya and registered as "Treasury (Forest)" ownership, stood out among the properties opened for allocation.


While a 5-star hotel with approximately one thousand beds is planned for this area, the special parcel number 6 located in Kızılağaç Neighborhood of Bodrum district, Muğla and recorded as "Treasury + Treasury (Forest)" ownership was also included in the allocation list. In the region, a 5-star hotel or holiday village with 1200 beds or a daily-use facility with 2,392 square meters of indoor area will be built.
The list published by the Ministry also included areas planned for a 100-bed staff dormitory in Çamyuva Neighborhood of Kemer district in Antalya, a private accommodation facility with 160 beds in Göl Neighborhood of Bodrum, and a daily-use facility in Türkbükü Neighborhood.
Outside the Culture and Tourism Protection and Development Regions, public properties were opened for allocation to build a 4 or 5-star hotel with 120 beds in Ayvalık district of Balıkesir, and a rural tourism facility with 60 beds in Hasankeyf district of Batman.
Furthermore, in the Ardahan Yalnızçam Uğurludağ Culture and Tourism Protection and Development Region, projects for a 300-bed hotel and daily-use facility on properties belonging to Ardahan Special Provincial Administration were included.

VALUED AT 4.3 BILLION TL
With the decision published in the Official Gazette, the Kesire Burnu land, located waterfront in Bodrum and attracting attention with its approximately 430-acre size, has become the focus of renewed debates due to its long-lasting title deed and ownership process. The property, registered in the name of the Treasury Ministry in 1978, had previous objection lawsuits dismissed by both Bodrum Civil Court of First Instance and the Court of Cassation.
However, after nearly 44 years, a new application based on old title deed records was filed in 2022 against the Treasury for "cancelation and registration of the title deed." Among the plaintiffs were individuals representing the heirs of previous litigants. The application requested precautionary measures on the property, which the court accepted and issued a precautionary injunction against the approximately 430-acre land in exchange for a 20,000 TL bond.

This figure drew public attention considering the property's size and coastal location. Previously, zoning plan proposals including a marina, golf course, and shopping center had also been raised for the area.
Lawyers for the Treasury and the Ministry of Environment, Urbanization and Climate Change reportedly objected to the precautionary injunction, arguing that lawsuits filed years after cadastral procedures were finalized are legally impossible. Nevertheless, an expert examination was conducted, and the market value of the land was estimated at approximately 4.3 billion TL.
Finally, in the public property allocation announcement published in the Official Gazette dated June 27, 2026, the area in Bodrum Türkbükü was indicated as Treasury-owned Kesire Burnu.
