“Türkiye changed its rules in January 2024: short-term rentals under a year need a Ministry of Culture and Tourism permit, a plaque, and in shared buildings the co-owners' consent. That removed a lot of informal supply. Istanbul trades all year, Cappadocia runs on balloon seasons and the coasts peak in summer.”
Alaa Elhadi, revenue management consultant. Cornell certified, 18 years in hotel and short-term rental revenue.
Since January 2024, Turkiye requires a short-term rental permit for lets under one year, issued with approval from the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, and hosts must display a permit plaque. For apartments in shared buildings, unanimous consent of the co-owners is generally required, which has reshaped supply in city blocks. Booking.com, long blocked in Turkiye, was reinstated in 2023 and is now available again.
Rates are set in Turkish lira (TRY) and priced for net revenue after channel fees. Channels: Airbnb and Booking.com lead, with Booking.com back online since 2023 and local platforms adding reach.
The moves Alaa makes first when a hotel or host in Türkiye books a session, and the errors he corrects most often. Every one is set up inside your own pricing tool, so it keeps working after the call.
Obtain the permit and co-owner consent before listing.
Price Istanbul around Eid, tulip season and medical tourism.
Price Antalya and Bodrum on summer weekly stays.
Price Cappadocia balloon-view rooms at a premium.
Update moving holiday dates like Bayram every year.

The coasts are closed for leisure, so I keep floors honest there, price Istanbul for business and the semester break, and plan Cappadocia around balloon weather.
The Istanbul Tulip Festival and spring balloon flights make this a strong period; I lift weekend rates and treat Ramadan Bayram as a short premium when it lands here.
The Riviera and Aegean fill with European and domestic families, so I use weekly stays, price Kurban Bayram dates highest and keep Istanbul pricing realistic in the heat.
Warm seas and cooler cities make this a strong shoulder; I hold coastal rates through September and push Cappadocia and Istanbul weekends up.
Istanbul events and New Year keep the city busy, so I price those dates firmly, while coastal homes switch to long-stay offers for winter visitors.
One person does the thinking on your account. Choose the kind of help your property in Türkiye needs; everything is remote, 1-on-1 and scheduled in your time zone.
For owners in Türkiye, I confirm the permit and co-owner consent, check which currency you price in, and plan the year around Bayram dates, school holidays and the coastal season, so the calendar is ready before the busiest weeks arrive.
For Turkish hosts I set up PriceLabs or Wheelhouse with separate seasons for Istanbul, the coasts and Cappadocia, update Bayram dates every year, and keep pricing in a stable currency so a weak lira does not erode your rates. Cappadocia rooms get spring and autumn premiums tied to the balloon season.
With my five-star hotel background, I help Turkish hotels balance tour operators, OTAs and direct demand, set rate fences for Bayram and summer peaks, and choose comp sets by district in Istanbul and by beach on the coasts. For resort hotels I review allotment release dates so rooms come back to sell in time.
Each market in Türkiye below has its own page with Alaa's notes on seasonality, events and how he would price it. Ask about any town or region not listed.

Real feedback from PriceLabs pricing strategy sessions with Alaa.
Alaa is a consummate professional! Patient, thorough, efficient and effective in communicating. He not only made savvy adjustments to my dynamic pricing strategy, but also helped me to understand the reasoning behind his methods, granting me a better understanding of the PriceLabs platform. Strong work!
Airbnb host
Alaa was fantastic, going through each of the properties I had and gave great advice and actioned a great game plan. Would highly recommend for anyone looking to enhance their pricing strategy on PriceLabs. Alaa's experience goes beyond this which makes it very beneficial to have this holistic approach.
Property manager
Alaa helped me optimize my PriceLabs settings for my Airbnb listing and was very helpful and patient with answering any questions I had. He was also able to clearly explain why he made the changes he made, and it was obvious that he had a lot of experience in this field. I will definitely be back!
Airbnb host
Yes, since 2024, with co-owner consent in shared buildings. Alaa checks it first.
Yes, it was reinstated in 2023.
Where the platform and your setup allow it, I usually prefer euros or dollars for international guests, because the lira can move quickly. If you must price in lira, I review rates often so that a currency move does not quietly reduce what each night is worth.
Yes. Turkish school holidays run through the summer, and families travel heavily over Kurban Bayram. I price these weeks firmly and use weekly stays, since domestic families often book later than European guests but stay longer. I keep some inventory open for them rather than filling everything early at lower rates.
Yes. Alaa works 1-on-1 with hotels, resorts, serviced apartments, Airbnb hosts and property management companies throughout Türkiye, remotely, with no minimum or maximum portfolio size. He has dedicated market pages for 4 destinations in Türkiye, and the same approach works for any town or region not listed. Prices are billed in USD and the strategy is built for Turkish lira (TRY) revenue.
