I go there to see the waiter and his english wife.
Do i have to explain my reason for being there.
The subject is about the smell.
If you dont believe me thats your perogative.

So the canal occasionally smells of ****e, the algae green sea was deemed unsafe to swim in, Turkey has gone to war and Jet-2 want over £600 to get there and back. Perhaps I'm right to be concerned!

Just been talking to Namek next to the bridge who sells the boat trips and we were talking about the smell.
He is there most of the day and smells it and he was telling me the problem with the drainage system so dont be saying to me there is no smell.
I am pretty sure your calling me a liar.

Not at all, I am saying I haven’t experienced any smells at/on the canal.

Fortunately whilst we were there mid September into first week of October, we experienced no smells from the river, our hotel backed onto the river/canal and we also went across on the boat several times.  so happy to report no smells.  The sea was alos a lot clearer  than it was in June (electric green).

The Canal has been a lot less smelly this year compared to previous years, certainly no worse then some of the bins that occasionally smell after being in the sun all day, the sea had an issue for about 8 weeks but still people continued to swim with no illnesses or reactions that I am aware of & soon became a lot clearer/cleaner.

As per usual it is the perceived problems on The Syrian border ( yes 25 hours away by car) but try explaining it to most people who already have an adverse opinion on Turkey.. I get sick of defending it so I don’t mention the fact that we lived there anymore.. The flight prices are beyond ridiculous and with this on top it’s going to be yet another difficult year in Turkey.
