Below you will find what our clients say about our services:


"In 2005 we bought an apartment in Turkey. Obviously undertaking such a transaction in a foreign country is very stressful and there are many barriers to overcome including interpreting legal terminology correctly, understanding Turkish processes and procedures and the culture of the country. Koray Atak helped us through this minefield. His expertise was invaluable, his explanation of issues impeccable, his translation spot-on. All this was delivered in pleasant and courteous manner and very promptly. He made us feel most welcome and helped us integrate in our new surroundings. We can highly recommend Koray to help with any similar problems."
Steve and Deene Churchill



“Having lived in Turkey 13 years as a European in business I can highly recommend Koray as a translator and para-legal. He excels at offering an excellent, professional and efficient service. Nothing is too much trouble. He genuinely takes time to ensure clients fully understand bureaucratic procedures and are satisfied and have peace of mind.
Having a trustworthy honest hard working translator and para-legal is a valuable asset here when buying or relocating to Turkey. His sense of humour is refreshing!”
Corinne Parry

“Having used the services of Koray I would not hesitate to use his services again and I would recommend him without hesitation. Koray explained to us in excellent English every aspect stage by stage and made clear to us any legal documents that we were unsure of. He was very understanding and patient and explained to us anything that we were unsure of. Koray in my opinion has helped us to make the purchase of our property in Turkey to be hassle free. We are happy with the services provided by Koray and again would highly recommend him. “
Mr & Mrs A Heslop

“We have used Mr Atak’s services; he is very efficient and professional. We will certainly use again.”
Ilknur & Gary Doody



“We have used the translation and legal advisory services of Koray Atak on several occasions and on both counts have been extremely impressed not only by the high level of knowledge he has within his very broad field of work and the expert and competent manner in which this is undertaken, but also by his thorough research of matters outside his advertised skills with which we have presented him.

Koray also has an excellent command of the English language and he converses extremely naturally and fluently on any topic. His attention to detail is second-to-none and every task is met with interest and enthusiasm and completed in a friendly and efficient manner.

Koray has a cheerful and upbeat disposition and not only is he one of the most helpful people we have ever met but, and most importantly, he engenders trust, an essential quality given the confidential nature of a lot of the work he undertakes.

Koray is a highly professional individual and without doubt our transition from the UK to life in Turkey would not have been as easy or stress-free were it not for him. We would have no hesitation in recommending him not only for all the services he advertises but also for any other problems or queries anyone may need to have resolved whilst living in Turkey.”
Jackie & Adrian Wright



“After arrival in Turkey we faced a whirlwind of formalities surrounding our entry by boat and subsequent immigration.
Without the invaluable help of Koray we probably would have given up the struggle.
He has always provided a personal and friendly service.
Furthermore, by acting above and beyond the call of duty and where necessary employing his wide circle of contacts, he has quickly dealt with our problems.
He is now a valued friend and I can recommend his exceptionally speedy and friendly services”
Graham and Sharon Cox


“I needed to arrange a Will last year & also required other general information.
I was recommended to contact Koray at Atak Translation Services from my original Estate Agents. For anyone in the Fethiye region needing help with Wills, Translations, visa, permits etc, I would strongly suggest you contact Koray.
Not only did I find his charges excellent value, his knowledge, helpfulness, friendliness & speed of arranging everything I needed was second to none.
You will not be disappointed & certainly not dissatisfied.”
Colin Wordley


“I was introduced to Koray as a translator by a trusted friend who highly recommended I use his services. Koray is a highly educated young man, friendly and, as I too have found trustworthy and reliable. He understands the difficulties of being a foreigner in another man’s country and knows too well, unfortunately, some of the difficult circumstances many foreigners have found themselves in. He provides an excellent service as I have found on many occasions.

Koray, to me, is outstanding, he is not your average, typical, Turkish male! He is a man of integrity, in addition to speaking excellent English, having a very good understanding of our language (oral or written), as well as being able to write (correctly) in English too – need I say more?

You can make an appointment to see Koray; you will find him, warm, friendly and hospitable. He is also contactable by phone and/or email, and will promptly respond to any queries you may have. He is not just a translator, he is much more than that! Apart from providing a translation service, Koray can answer many queries you may have, and if he doesn’t know the answer he will make the appropriate enquiries to find the answers on your behalf. He offers help with many other matters too, such as obtaining your Resident’s Visa, translating documents, helping you to communicate with other Turkish people (who can’t speak English) regarding many aspects of living here in Turkey e.g. buying property, setting up a business etc.

I personally highly recommend Koray to all those in need of such a trustworthy & reliable service. His business will prosper and be successful if he continues to work with such integrity - basically he is the best!”

“Thank you very much for your help and advice and your services in assisting us with the purchase of our property in Turkey. On our next visit we will be seeking your services in drawing up our Will and other legal matters that may be relevant to us.”

Gloria & Keith Rayneau


“I thought I would send this e-mail to you to thank you for the excellent services you have provided for us over the past 12 months.
These included obtaining a 'will ' for me and my partner Victoria. You simply asked us what was required, you completed all the paperwork which you explained fully, .
You provided the necessary translation and went with us to the appropriate department, guided us through the formalities and even obtained the two witnesses. Your fees were very reasonable. You also have helped us with purchasing a car, and obtaining all the necessary documents, which in Turkey is a minefield. You even obtained the proxy so that we could sell the vehicle whilst back home in England.

You have been on hand to assist us with all problems that have arisen over the past 12 months, from obtaining our Tapu, electric supply to the Villa, and general things that one would not normally associate with a translation service. You have in fact given a total personal service including sound advice to Victoria and I, which we are most grateful for.
We will no doubt continue to call upon your services and hope you and you wife every prosperity over the coming years.

I would have no hesitation in recommending you to others coming to live and stay in Turkey.”

Geoff and Victoria. Üzümlü /Turkey


“My wife and I have no hesitation in recommending Koray for his Translation services. We have known and dealt with Koray for over two years and have always found him to be extremely courteous, reliable, efficient and helpful. His grammatical knowledge is excellent and he has been able to translate papers from legal documents with explanations of various terms to instructions for a washing machine! We will certainly continue to use his services.”

Gary Parrett



“Just writing to say we were very pleased with the service we received from you regarding the completion of our Turkish wills, very quick and efficient every thing explained thoroughly once again many thanks.”.
Paul and Tracey Barraclough


“To whom it may concern

Susan and I have been resident in Turkey for six months, before this we have visited on numerous occasions over a five-year period to purchase land and establish a Turkish business.

During our many encounters with Turkish bureaucracy we have enlisted the assistance of many different interpreters in the Fethiye area, some of which have provided an adequate service, some poor and some not worthy of their profession.

At the beginning of our term of residence we were lucky enough to stumble across Koray Atak (Atak Translation Services). His command of the English language is exceptional. He is always professional, patient and helpful (and his charges are very reasonable – but don’t let him know this). We have found a valuable asset to our company and ourselves. Here’s to a long and mutually rewarding relationship.”

“I have been asked to comment on the quality of the services provided by the Atak Translation Services. I consider it a privilege to do so.

I have used these services in three different scenarios.

1. Social.
2. Commercial.
3. And on behalf of a charity.

On the social scene my first reaction was that Koray’s English was better than mine …. well able to understand ….. and convey…….. very subtle nuances. On commercial matters I found that his expertise in translation was backed up by a depth of understanding of business law and procedures which I have since described as being “beyond his years”. In our work together on behalf of the charity he not only provided me with his own personal knowledge and judgment, but sought out, and introduced me to, individuals of specialist skill and/or experience as and when found to be necessary. Additionally he led me skilfully through the labyrinth of Turkish governmental administration.

I therefore have no hesitation in recommending his services. He has proven to be competent, honest and very hard working, and I look forward to continuing our business relationship in future. I can be contacted … best by e mail ….. at oliver@oludeniznet.com”

“Dear Mr Atak,

I was very pleased with the accuracy of the translation services provided to me by ATAK Translation Services. Mr Atak was prepared to thoroughly explain all aspects of the property transaction to me, including the many steps involved in acquiring a property interest in Turkey. He accompanied me to see all the meetings I had and was instrumental in driving through the contract variations I required. I was extremely satisfied with the service I received.”

Dale Winfield, Lancashire.




“I would like to thank you for your hard work and extensive knowledge on Turkish Property and General Law. You translations have been most helpful through out my dealings in Dalaman region. I would like to let you know I will recommend you to others in the UK and will contact you again with my business dealings in Turkey. Kind Regards”
Soraya Torshizi




“We have known Koray Atak for over 2 years. We first met him, whilst we were purchasing a property, in Fethiye. He had such a good command of English, that we found him to be invaluable. Since then he has done quite a lot of work for us, regarding translation of Turkish to English. He has carried out all the necessary work entailed, in making our wills. This is quite a complicated procedure. He did it all, with very little effort on our part.
His charges are also very reasonable, for the work entailed.
He has also given us plenty of good advice, on many aspects, of how things are done in Turkey. All these things, we would have found insurmountable without his help. We have always found him to be very patient and also a very genuine person.”

“I used Atak Translations to obtain a residence Permit whilst over in Fethiye for one week in Feb 2007.
I found Koray to be very professional, organised, efficient and friendly and he delivered my residence permit in only 4 days due to fantastic planning.
I have no hesitation in recommending his company and the service he gave was exceptional.”
