A holiday rush to the district with a population of 22,000

Kastamonu's Cide district was swamped by citizens looking to spend the 9-day Eid al-Adha holiday. Visitors to the district enjoyed both the sea and nature. Citizens wanting to spend Eid al-Adha in their hometowns or take a vacation created a surge of activity in Kastamonu. The district of Cide, with a population of 22,000, was especially popular during the 9-day holiday, attracting visitors from various cities. Many visitors took the opportunity to swim in the sea, while others explored the district's captivating natural beauty and visited the highlands. Five bus companies operating passenger transport to the district worked at full capacity to manage the influx. "We even had to wait 15 minutes to cross the street." Ersin Yavuz, who came to Cide for the holiday, said, "Cide is a place we visit every year. The crowds increase each year. This year, it's busier than previous years. We even had to wait 15 minutes to cross the street. It's a beautiful place with its nature. Sometimes the wind limits sea activities, but the sea is also very beautiful. We love coming here. It's where green meets blue. The summer timing of Eid al-Adha has resulted in an extreme crowd. Since it's a small district, traffic becomes an issue. It's a place to visit and explore. I recommend everyone to spend at least one holiday here."

Holiday Rush in Hatay, Home to Turkey's Longest Coastline

In Hatay's Samandağ district, which fell into silence following last year's devastating earthquake, a similar level of pre-earthquake holiday rush was observed due to the nine-day holiday and hot weather at the 14-kilometer-long beach. The Kahramanmaraş-centered earthquakes had caused significant destruction in Hatay's Samandağ district, leading to a quiet holiday season last year. However, as the wounds from the earthquake began to heal and residents returned to their homes, there was a surge of activity on Samandağ beach, Turkey's longest coastline, during the Eid al-Adha holiday. With temperatures exceeding 40 degrees Celsius, people sought relief in the cool waters of the Mediterranean. The crowd at the public beach was also captured from the air by drone footage. Hatay Metropolitan Municipality's Fire Department lifeguards remained on high alert for any drowning incidents. "The Only Way to Cool Off in Hot Weather is to Swim in the Sea" Ahmet Kimyeci, who mentioned spending the holiday at the beach, said, "We came to our house by the beach for the holiday. We're spending the holiday here. The weather is hot, but the sea is normal. It can be better or worse than this. The only way to cool off in hot weather is to swim in the sea. We came with our grandchildren. The beach is nice but needs some maintenance. It's crowded now, but it will get even more crowded in a few hours. You can swim until 8 PM. We have a pleasant sea. With the weather being so hot, this is the only way to cool off. We're spending the holiday like this." "I Come Twice a Month to Escape This Heat" Nevzat Açık, who described Samandağ beach as one of the largest in the world, said, "The weather is very hot, so we threw ourselves into the sea. The weather is very hot, so everyone came to the sea. The beach is crowded. Since it's a holiday, everyone has come for vacation. I come twice a month to escape this heat," he said.

Visa on Arrival Embargo by Rhodes Police

Turkish citizens who wanted to travel to Rhodes Island from the town of Marmaris in Muğla were denied entry to the island by Rhodes police on the grounds of overcapacity. Following the implementation of the visa-on-arrival application for the Greek islands, citizens wishing to spend their holiday on Rhodes Island were hindered by Rhodes police. Citing the congestion due to the holiday season and tourism season, Rhodes police did not allow citizens who were to obtain visas on arrival to enter the island. Citizens who came to the port for the Marmaris-Rhodes journey had to return from Marmaris port upon learning they could not be admitted due to the congestion. It was learned that entries to the island were not being allowed due to the congestion, and in three days, 473 people who wanted to enter the island with a visa on arrival could not go to Rhodes Island. It was noted that citizens with a Schengen visa could enter, while Rhodes police, citing the island's overcapacity, did not permit entry to those who would obtain a visa on arrival.

Tourism gets a 9-day holiday boost

Due to the earthquakes in Kahramanmaraş last year, the tourism season started late, but this year it has been brought forward with the nine-day Ramadan holiday. Occupancy rates in Antalya, Bodrum, Sapanca, Afyon, and Cyprus have reached 60-70%, and there will be a festive atmosphere in the facilities. The tourism sector is making a rapid entry into the season with the nine-day Ramadan holiday from April 6th to 15th this year. Starting in the third week of March and followed by the Easter holiday in Europe, the nine-day Ramadan holiday that followed has brought joy to tourism professionals, affecting the entire Turkish world. The coincidence of the holiday with the interim holiday period also increases domestic market activity, positively impacting holiday sales. Kaan Kavaloğlu, President of the Antalya Touristic Hoteliers and Operators Association (AKTOB), says that extending the Ramadan holiday to nine days has delighted tourism professionals and ensured an early start to the season. Reminding us of the very late start of the tourism season last year, Kavaloğlu says, "After the local elections, this holiday will offer the Turkish people a chance to relax and rest. Considering the Nevruz and Easter holidays, this year the season will open in the third week of March." Emel Elik Bezaroğlu, a Board Member of Elite World Hotels & Resorts, also emphasizes that extending the holiday to nine days is encouraging for tourism. She says they are experiencing holiday congestion in their Sapanca hotels and highlights that they have prepared special artistic programs for holidaymakers to enjoy their time.
