Businessperson reacts to the scene in Alanya

Businessperson from Alanya, Musa Yaman, highlighted the environmental pollution issue at Cleopatra Beach through a post on his social media account.

Yaman criticized the situation harshly, saying the world-famous beach is now associated with foul odors:

"I literally swam in sewage."

“Last night, I went for a swim at Cleopatra Beach, filled with memories of my childhood and youth, and a place we proudly introduced to the world. As the sun set, I hoped for a refreshing swim but faced a nightmare instead. I literally swam in sewage next to the buoys. That once sweet-smelling Mediterranean has now become our foul-smelling shame. What a pity…”

“This Is Not Just Environmental Pollution, It's a Moral Burden”

Yaman emphasized that Cleopatra Beach is the symbol of Alanya and the pollution is unacceptable.

“This beach, the honor of our Alanya, does not deserve such betrayal. This is not just environmental pollution, it is a moral burden.”
