Boats to be supervised

"Our top priority is to keep tourists happy," Altıparmak said at a meeting. "You cannot pack 35 tourists on a 25-person boat. We already have regulations restricting the number of boats, prohibiting drinking while riding the boats, limiting the boats' speeds and setting a dress code, and we will continue applying them."

There are a total of 491 boats on Lake Köyceğiz and the Dalyan canals, including tourism, private and fishing vessels."Lake Köyceğiz and the Dalyan canals are great assets to the country with their historic and cultural values as well as their natural beauty," Altıparmak said.
