Our Negative Impressions of Anadolu Kavağı
First of all, this butcher, which is one of the must-see places with its beauties and location, is quite on the coast of our town. There are many fish restaurants.. However, when you wander on this already small beach, the employees of each restaurant insistently invite you to their places, and especially the same people (the same person insistently invited me to their place 5 times in 1 hour, despite my constant refusal) insistently wanting to take you to their own place, it is quite a shame for the town. leaves a negative impression. Even though we are used to these situations as Istanbul residents, we wanted to go as soon as possible.. I believe that this situation will disturb the tourists more and create a bad image for our country.. For this reason, I hope an official who hears my voice will take a step to prevent this situation.
