Critical notes about Antalya.
Critical notes about Antalya.
A lot has been said about the beauties and sights of Antalya and you can read about it on any travel agency website. This is all true. Natural beauties: the blue sea, mountains, lakes and waterfalls fascinate and delight. The wonderful climate is conducive to relaxation and tranquility. However, all these impressions are valid only when viewed from a distance; close up, much looks different. First of all, this is a terrifying lack of sanitation, and in those places where environmental requirements should be the greatest - this is the coast. The city beaches of Konialty greet vacationers not only with the warm sea and a small pebble beach, but also with heaps of garbage, leftover food, empty bottles and an abundance of cigarette butts and husks from seeds, which are dotted with the entire coast and the embankment,
Although on the contrary, on the first coastline, surrounded by cleanliness and fountains, there is a building of the city administration.
It's a shame that no one thinks about the fact that if one cigarette butt poisons one cubic meter of water, then how much water these mountains of garbage poison?
What will we leave to our children and grandchildren?
And not surprisingly, there are no trash cans on the beaches, no posters explaining the dangers of sea pollution, no environmental police. The same garbage heaps in all wastelands, in riverbeds, along the banks of lakes. In the end, it's all good.
enters the sea, poisoning it. This should be understood by everyone, and first of all, residents and guests of the coast.
Things are no better in the Lara area. Walking along the steep coast and enjoying the wonderful views, you only need to look into the distance, and not down, where the ledges and slopes of the steep coast are covered with all kinds of garbage and no one cares about that. ADMINISTRATION! INSTALL POSTERS, educate the population and vacationers, and if they don’t understand - FINE - money will not interfere with the treasury. But the Municipal authorities are fighting the garbage on the beach in their own, original way - they roll it with a bulldozer into the sand, turning the bottles into broken glass, and plastic into prickly garbage.
Therefore, when you go swimming, look under your feet, and when you reach the sea, seal your mouth with adhesive tape, otherwise, taken, just in case, stomach pills may not be enough.
If you are a smoker and go for a walk, then take an impromptu ashtray with you, because. there are practically no trash cans in the city, you can’t throw cigarette butts into containers, and there is enough garbage on the sidewalk without your cigarette butts.
However, the central parts of the city and the highways passing through it are very clean. It is interesting to observe how a worker cleaning the road “chases” every piece of paper, and nearby the sidewalk is littered with garbage, but this is a different department and it doesn’t matter that they have the same goal, but the departments are different. As we have in the Russian Federation and the USSR.
In general, come to rest in Antalya, it’s beautiful here, and, hopefully, with our help, the shortcomings will be corrected. I will send this note to the Administration, maybe they will read it and draw conclusions, otherwise there are still many places to rest in Antalya.
