Lighting the beach for Ramazan

[shirleyanntr]

People who fast during Ramazan dont go into the pool or sea as it would break the fast by having water enter the mouth.
Since not everybody has access to a pool the Alanya Belediye has lit up three of the public beaches to allow people who are both on holiday and fasting to swim safely after İftar.
The three public beaches are Damlataş, Garip Dere, and the beach near the Red Tower.
Garip Dere beach is near to the Town Hall buildings and is free, has changing rooms and showers.
