I know what you mean, I have never smoked, so to sit on a beach surrounded by cig ends is horrible, I hate it, I put pebbles over them, how sad am I!!  :)

They can pick the fag ends up and take them away when they leave. It is not rocket science. They have a choice; they are just bone idle and inconsiderate. I was on the main beach in Calis yesterday (sorry Keith) by the new wooden seating structure (is there a name for it ?). Within arms reach of my head, there were about 40 fag ends. I flicked them into a bag and put it into a bin when I left.
PS They were not mine - I don't smoke

Its nice to have things made easy for us with bins and ash trays available - but surely people can have a little bag they put all their rubbish in and just take it at the end of their stay to the nearest bin they will surely pass as they leave the beach. Any beach!

This problem is not exclusive to Calis or Koca Calis.

If we all do our bit we keep it nice for everyone. How can we complain if we don't all take a little bit of responsibility for the environment and our surroundings and set a good example in a country where chucking litter on the ground is common place.

It is more noticeable in Calis because the beaches don't get cleaned, in Spain for example, on the larger beaches the tractors are on there every morning cleaning and raking them, can't do this in Calis as it's pebble?
Doesn't put me off Calis though, I just don't go on the beach!  :)

Sadly in Turkey most rubbish just gets left -  look at the verges on the drive between gocek and calis - i have never seen so many bottles tins and general detritus that has obviously been thrown from vehicles. Turkey is a beautiful country but the appreciation to keep  it that way is not embedded in the national psyche.
Yes there is an annual beach clean but no obvious ongoing maintenance apart from the few bars who take responsibility for their section.
The Uk can get pretty bad where all those walkers and cyclists enjoy the countryside and leave evidence of their passing in just the same way..

Im a smoker (I know I know naughty me) and when in Turkey you can always find me at Olu Deniz beach, but I will either have a ashtray (I always ask the beach boys, and they will happily go get you one) and I also have a rubbish bag, so at the end of the day I clear up after myself. Unfortunately not everyone is the same. As Nichola says if we all did our bit, everywhere would be cleaner/nicer.
