Fethiye road chaos

We are used to living on a building site such is the rate of development round here but we have been suffering for months while the Belediye install a huge system of rainwater drains across half of the town. We’ve been living in a mud bath now being baked into a dust bowl.  It will be nice when it’s finished, as they say!  Of more concern to me is what happened at the weekend.
