Touristic Places of Turkiye







Turkish architecture, the baths in Istanbul, traditional Turkish houses, Turkish arts, carpets and kilims, musical instruments, or the summer vacation places are the most memorable things for people who visit Turkey. However in this blog, I would like to introduce some touristic part of the Turkey (I will write Turkiye instead of Turkey because I want to share the way that Turkish people say). I am sure if you find a chance to go there, you will never regret. Maybe most of you do not know the cities besides Istanbul. There are many places in the South part of the Turkiye like a heaven. I am also adding some photos since some of my friend ask me before where is Turkiye.

Known officially as the Republic of Turkey, Turkiye is located in the Balkan region of South Eastern Europe. Turkiye is uniquely situated, being border by the Black Sea to the north, Mediterranean Sea to the south and the Aegean Sea to the west. The Sea of Marmara is used as a marker to define the border between Europe and Asia continents; therefore, Turkiye being transcontinental. Landscapes are the product of complex earth movements that have shaped the country over thousands of years. There are 7 regions of Turkiye, being separated according to their climate, location, transportation, agricultural diversities and human habitat.

Turkiye’s touristic holiday areas have breathtaking sea views of the Mediterranean Coast, Marmara Sea, Aegean Coast as well as the exciting exuberant town life. Antalya, Bodrum, Kalkan, Marmaris, Fethiye, Kusadasi and Olu Deniz amongst the favorite Turkey holiday locations. Moreover, Istanbul, Izmir, Ankara and Cappadocia are the other favorite Turkey holiday cities. If you want to visit one day, I recomend to go one of these cities especially in summer. I am sure you will enjoy if you go. I hope this blog have helped you to get some ideas about my homecountry.

POWER PLANT COMPANY

A power plant company wants to build up a power plant in Riverside. Although they want residents to pay 50% of start-up amount and this can cause increase on taxes, it will provide some benefits for Riverside residents. Firstly, there is currently only one electricity power company and their electricity bill per month is pretty expensive, and if there is another company it probably will decrease. In order to allow this power plant project, the city office should listen consumers, nearby residents and the company. I think all of them can deal pretty well on this project.

Residents should accept 50% of start-up amount if their electricity bill per month will be decreased 50%. Secondly, if the taxes will increase, it should be less % increase with long period instead of more % increase with long period. Thirdly, there should be city-vote on whether most people want this power plan, or not.

Nearby residents should not be affected by environmental problems; therefore, the company has to take precautions. On the other hand, the company should agree with the less electricity fee per month. They should also suggest some job opportunities for the residents. Furthermore, they should finish construction in three years in order to provide cheap electricity to residents as soon as possible.

Last but not least, the city office can increase the taxes to afford the start-up amount of the company. They should also agree with the consumers opinions about taxes. If there is something new for the city, the city officer should always consider the residents’ benefits firstly.
