Although it is not as big province as Konya or Bursa, not one of the top populated cities of Turkey, and not a big Industrial or commercial city. Yet, Yalova, has big fame as one of the most important touristic destinations in Turkey. Yalova gains this position basically from its location between two of the most significant cities of Turkey “Istanbul and Bursa”, both cities are important industrial, commercial, political and touristic cities. Being almost at the same distance from those two cities adds a big importance to Yalova's unique characteristics as a residential and touristic city. Yalova is known for being a summer vacation destination for both local and foreign tourists who are looking to spend peaceful times enjoying the sun, sea, and city combination. It’s also targeted in the winter by the healthcare tourists for its hot springs and spas.

Still, you can reach and enjoy the beaches within half an hour. Small apartments like a studio or 1 bedroom, can be an option for short term renting in the high season and would be a good investment when renting for students, especially with the large number of students studying in Yalova and which is expected to grow larger.
