Big Cruise ships coming to Fethiye
« on: September 03, 2014, 12:44:11 PM »
I have been reading recently about a  new major effort locally by a determined, optimistic,group of people to make an area of Fethiye                ( Harbour) a recognised location `stop over ` several days in a week for big Ocean going Cruise ships.  Personally and selfishly I  hope it doesn`t happen as I  think the lovely Fethiye will lose its `charm`, quaintness, and all the things we love about it.

Once the rich yanks ( and they will in their hundreds ) leave the ship and visit Fethiye and its nearby attractions...  prices will rocket..  particularly around the vicinity of the harbour.  Maybe many businesses will gain from it, and some wont.  As I  said above... selfishly I  hope it doesn`t materialise... please stay as you are Fethiye  :-)

Let them finish the canal and surrounding area first.

Nah, but I bet there'll be an Italian captain who'll try.

When I first brought a property 11 years ago I was shown the plans for the cruise terminal, I don't think it will happen because they can't get funding for it.

In marmaris there is a cruise ship in every day, all prices along the front are in Euros, town clogged by coaches taking them hither & thither. Not to mention pollution created by the vessels, both environmental and noise. Hope they never come to fethiye.
