opening ceremony tonight

It was a great night, the park looks amazing.
Very professional with that Turkish twist that we love.... They were still trying to finish the clock tower, they had signs to put up saying Istanbul, London, Berlin and one for Moscow that was broken in 3 bits!
2 guys in a crane were positioned ready to unveil the Statue, brilliant.

Was a bit worried when they lit the fire pit at the top of the statue, not sure there should have been so much lack smoke!
Otherwise great music, traditional costumes, loved the fountains, kids were loving the coloured paving slabs, everyone having a lovely time.
Great hospitality from the Kismet guys, fab atmosphere and definitely memorable.

A brilliant night and so good to see the bars on "The Strip" busy.

They have made a wonderful job of the area around the Kultur Centre, the new roads have transformed the back streets and brought new life to the area with the street cafes.

The Park and Town Square are a triumph.  Children and adults alike were dancing in the jets of water in front of the Kultur Centre.

A huge improvement to naturally beautiful Fethiye. 

Looking forward to what I hope will be many events in the new square.
