I have an apartment in Turkey, there is one wall that takes a hammering over
the wet winter months, the wall is currently painted externally and
internally and is not on the ground floor, When I go out in spring there is
a little `dampness` on the inside of that wall, normal for turkish builds
and easily sorted with a quick scrape and a new coat of paint.
However I would like to at least improve the situation and even better if I
could solve it by trying to coat the wall with something to seal it.

Any ideas?

thanks.

I would be cautious about sealing the wall.
It sounds like you may have a masonry wall.
( Telling us the materials and thickness would be a great help.)
Many such walls can take in a lot of moisture which eventually is
released.
If moisture were to get into such a wall at some joint such as a
window frame connection...
A surface seal would hold the moisture in the wall with a number of
possible bad results.
