“Spending time with the people on the streets of Bitez has once again highlighted the importance of managing the city together and witnessing the challenges firsthand. We are committed to continue the beautification of Bodrum by working directly alongside the citizens. Beginning with Bitez Center, we visited each street, engaged with business owners and residents, and assessed various issues, from sidewalk conditions to environmental cleanliness, on-site. Together with our teams, we took swift action to address these concerns. I would like to extend my sincere gratitude to the deputy mayors, municipal council members, neighborhood head and department heads who joined us, as well as to all the citizens who welcomed us, shared their concerns, and played a vital role in making our beautiful city even more livable.
