My villa was broken into last week. Myself and my guests were cleaned out. We had ironworks, double window locks and the most expensive , mulipltle locked metal front door available, but the thieves, low life that they are , just drilled right through the locks and then entered the property to thieve precious possessions and wreck furniture. The end result was one english family returning home with two terified children, just 3 days into their holiday. The children were really terrified and the thieves took everything they had. This is not a good example of a Turkish holiday experience to take home, is it? I came to a Turkey where women felt safe, this is not the case now. THE CHIEF OF POLICE NEEDS TO SHAKE HIS OFFICERS ,BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT PROTECTING HOLIDAYMAKERS HERE, AT ALL!!
My home is in a village near Calis, so you are not safe anywhere. The Turkish people need to act, because holidaymakers will stop coming and revenue in shops and restaurants will drop.I am a positive person with many friends around the world and I have travelled to many countries and Fethiye needs to increase its police patrols, because if more is not done in Fethiye, Calis and surrounding towns, then people will leave, just as my guests have done.
