Football fans may want to snap up villas in Turkey next month to see if the country is successful in securing qualification to the Euro 2012 finals.
The team face a tough tie against Croatia in the play-offs of the prestigious competition, which will be held jointly in Poland and the Ukraine in June 2012.
However, Turkey have already shown that they can put up a fight against stiff competition, by beating Belgium and Austria to the Group A runner-up spot.
The country made their qualification to the play-offs difficult though, with a 0-0 draw against Austria followed by a 3-1 defeat when playing Group A winners Germany meaning the squad required a win over Azerbaijan in order to secure their progress.
A 60th minute strike by Trabzonspor forward Burak Yilmaz was enough to ensure a 1-0 victory for the Turkish faithful.
Victory means that Turkey will play Group F runners-up Croatia in their final qualification tie, with the first leg being hosted on home turf on either November 11th or 12th.
