[عاشق تركيا]

At a glance:
In October 2025, the Antalya–Alanya motorway project in southern Türkiye secured €1.7 billion in financing from 14 banks and financial institutions under a public–private partnership (PPP).

The project​

• Limak Holding is developing the motorway under the PPP model.
• The financing is a 14-year loan totalling €1.7 billion.
• The planned route comprises:
  • Approximately 84 km of motorway.
  • A further 38 km of connecting roads, with the main corridor following the foothills of the Taurus Mountains.
• The project is intended to cut the journey from around two and a half hours to 36 minutes. This is the announced projection for the motorway corridor once operational, rather than a current or guaranteed city-centre-to-city-centre journey time.

Who is providing the finance?​

• According to the project company, approximately 87% of the loan comes from international financial institutions. The wider financing consortium includes:
  • The Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB).
  • The Islamic Development Bank (IsDB).
  • The Silk Road Fund.
  • Commercial banks including Akbank, Deutsche Bank, Garanti BBVA and Ziraat Bank.
• Financing commitments reached approximately 2.1 times the amount sought, which the developer presented as an indication of lender confidence in the project.

Expected effects on tourism and the economy​

• The motorway is expected to make travel easier between two major tourism centres on Türkiye’s Mediterranean coast.
• It is intended to relieve congestion on the existing coastal road and shorten journeys for freight and logistics services.
• The project could support employment during construction and, after opening, in:
  • Construction and maintenance.
  • Roadside services, including rest areas, fuel stations and restaurants.

What does this mean for residents and visitors?​

• Once the motorway opens, it should offer more convenient options for:
  • Staying in Antalya and making a day trip to Alanya.
  • Travelling in the opposite direction, broadening the choice of itineraries.
• Travellers should also allow for motorway tolls under the PPP operating model and check the published tariff when planning a journey.
