Mel if you read the icmeler forum you will find your answers, also you will find the council are not behind it, nor did they have any influence over it.

How very very sad.

It is a real shame to see that the stalls have gone as it was a lovely walk up and down there after your evening meal. I believe that they will be relocated to an area close to the town hall. It might not sound like an ideal alternative at first but it will bring more people into another area of Icmeler and will help to benefit the shops, bars and restaurants in that area.

Thanks for photos Barnie it's good to see what goes on out of season .

Am I right in thinking its the stalls next to the Majestic Restaurant that have been demolished?

If it is what about the stalls on the other side of the canal ? Have those gone aswell ?

Hi jollygreengiant,
I believe it is all the market stalls, along both sides of the canal.

Ahhhhhhhh what a shame I used to buy my towels from one of the stalls across the bridge.

im new to icmeler. usually go to marmaris. any one got any pics of the stalls before they did this. they seem to do strange things like this in turkey. they ruined the outdoor market in marmaris and a few good bars along the front.

I never thought i'd say this but i don't think it will be the same without all the stalls

It is quite depressing to see the stalls have gone. We went into that area in the evening for a meal and stroll around the stalls and my husband who has poor mobility always found a small seat to wait for us whilst we wandered. It will not be the same without the stalls. Hopefully there will be facilities for sitting where they are relocated, otherwise we will not be able to go and as a shopaholic my holiday will not be the same.

I found this while looking on you tube earlier, taken a few days ago down by the canal. I hope that they do something with the area, it doesn't look very inviting at the moment. Like a lot of other folk I used to like a wee walk down round the stalls in the evening.

Well,you can see what Jan's dog thinks of the canal area at the moment! (2mins 58secs in the video.) .

[Joan_Woodall]

what are they going to put in place of the stalls ?
it will make the bottom part of the canal very dark and quiet compared to what it is like when all the stalls were there
looks horrible

Hi Katie

It looks awful now they have taken the stalls down. I used to love walking down there in the evening. Hope they put something up in their place as it looks a mess at the moment and can't see it looking much better even in the dark!

At last work has started to tidy up the canal following the demolition of the stalls. The tiled floors have been dug up and debris is now being removed. Have to wait and see if it 's to be repaved this year.

Thanks for pictures Barnie lets hope they are going to smarten it up a bit doesn't look too good at the moment

[rayhel]

Always a nice walk down past the stalls in evening ,now what are we going to do?

[Bigdaddydawg]

It will be interesting to see how the new area for the market stalls will be received and if any new bars or restaurants spring up there too. Who knows, we may find a new area to explore with new friends to make.

What's happening! all Icmeler's charm is being destroyed,

[Jeanie17]

We will really miss having a lookie lookie at the stalls on our way out for a wee refreshment!

[TurkishDelight]
