Maltepe or Kartal? A little of both
Dragos has no town hall of its own. The name covers a hill and a stretch of shore on the boundary between two districts, so one street can be Maltepe and the next Kartal. Buyers tend to sort it into three kinds of home.

From first message to the tapu office
Buying while living outside Türkiye follows the same five steps every time. We do each one alongside you.
Brief us and see the flats
Your budget, the room count and how much sea you want to see. We line up matching homes and show them on site or over video.
Get a tax number, open an account
A tax office issues your vergi numarası against your passport, often while you wait. A Turkish bank account receives the funds you send from abroad.
Order the appraisal
A licensed valuation company inspects the flat and files its report. The Land Registry will not transfer to a foreign buyer without it.
Transfer the tapu
Once DASK earthquake cover is in place, you and the seller sign at the Land Registry, with a sworn interpreter beside you if you need one.
Apply for residence, if you want it
The new deed can support a residence permit application. Citizenship needs a minimum of $400,000 in property, held three years.

Dragos questions we hear every week
Is Dragos in Maltepe or in Kartal?
Both. Dragos is a local name rather than an official district: the hill and its shore straddle the boundary between Maltepe and Kartal. On paper, a flat here sits in a mahalle such as Cevizli on the Maltepe side, or Orhantepe or Cevizli on the Kartal side, and that is the name you will see on the title deed.
Which Marmaray station do I use for Dragos?
Cevizli and Atalar are the stops closest to most of Dragos. Which one is nearer depends on the street, so every listing we publish names the station we would walk to from that building.
Can a foreign buyer purchase a flat in Dragos?
In most cases, yes. Nationals of most countries may own a home in Istanbul under their own name. The registry will ask for a Turkish tax number, a licensed appraisal of the flat and a DASK earthquake policy before it puts the deed in your name.
Will a Dragos apartment get me Turkish citizenship?
Only above $400,000. The citizenship route needs property valued at that figure or more, held for three years and recorded as such on the deed; more than one unit can count towards it. Below that, a flat can still support a residence permit application, which immigration officials decide individually.
Do you show flats to buyers who are still abroad?
Yes. We walk through the flat on a live video call, step out onto the balcony so you can judge the view of the islands for yourself, and send the plans and paperwork before you book a flight.
