DENSITY AT AKÇAY ENTRANCE WILL DECREASE

This road will take a big burden off the density at the Akçay entrance. Many people will say 'I can walk from Akçay to Edremit thanks to this road'. Because the distance is a walkable distance with its beautiful surroundings. We have built a comfortable road in international standards that our citizens in this region and our guests coming on vacation will be really comfortable. We are planning to inaugurate it at the beginning of January."DENSITY AT AKÇAY ENTRANCE WILL DECREASEENSITY AT AKÇAY ENTRANCE WILL DECREASE
