On the same day, travelers specifically asked about Konyaaltı Beach: amid talk of an “environmental disaster,” they wanted to know whether there was currently a lot of trash on the beach or in the water.

Another recent note was about beach access rather than pollution: at one hotel beach, travelers mentioned very large rocks and boulders on the seabed, although entering the water was still possible.
