I'm no fan of heights but I think I would regret not doing this when it finally opens.
Thanks for posting Cenk

Thanks Cenk

That looks fantastic...I travelled on a similar cable car ride in Hong Kong last October to the village of Ngong Ping  it was amazing and a very popular attraction with the tourists  so I can only imagine that It will be just as popular for Fethiye…….any news as to when it may open?

Great video ,shows the area really well.The Skywalk should be a great asset.We were up ther for drinks in September and they seemed to be making great progress,The Turkish do not mess about when it comes to building.If this was UK it would be 3 year discussions,3 yr co saltation,3 year planning applications,3 year to build and 300% over budget by the time it was finished.Then it would be beset with problems for the next 3 years and forgotten about 3 years later when major repairs would be needed etc

Just a hypothetical observation on the differences between projects in Turkey and UK not a literal one Keith

The UK has Health and Safety Regulations and Great Crested Newts to consider.

Yep. 137 workers killed at work in UK last year; 2,006 killed in Turkey. UK has the larger workforce. Don't know about crested newts.
