Typical rumours and gossip, this story has been doing the rounds for years.

I have a place up the road and during the summer visit this was a much discussed subject with locals, expats and visitors alike.  Several salient points arose, firstly the whole area used to be a swamp - some parts still are, a dolphinarium type structure is big, very big, and you would need an awful lot of concrete to be poured just to make sure it wouldn't sink.  If it did start to sink then it would crack and from my knowledge of hydraulics this would let the water out!  Equally it would also need two rather large pipes to the sea, one for clean seawater in and one for foul seawater out.  Try as we might no one could identify a suitable route for these pipes from the sea to the proposed site - although with enough money you can achieve most things.

This is another idea doing the rounds that generates topics for the forum.  Now I have heard that there are plans for a F1 circuit in Uzumlu . . . . . . . .

Quite right, add to the weight of the concrete the weight of the water at 1000kg/m3 and I think in a few years we can all go and visit the Great Crater of Koca Calis.

Only thing is that where they are supposed to be building the dolphinarium is much higher and much better land than down the bottom of Koca. My understanding is it's to be built on the side of the new road into Calis and there seems to be a much stronger rock base up there.

It might just work but I hope it doesn't go ahead for a number of reasons - most which have already been discussed in another thread.
