A massive 20 million lira project to upgrade Mavişehir, including the popular market place, is underway and will be completed by May 2026.

Didim Municipality will be implementing the project with the aim of solving long-standing rainwater drainage infrastructure problems while creating a social living space for the area.

The project will include

• an 8655 square meter parking lot with a capacity of 276 vehicles,
• restaurant areas
• a 560 square meter children’s playground
• a 700-meter long walking path
• a 600-meter long bicycle path.

A total of 11,305 square meters of green space will be created, providing a holistic landscape design.

Renovation work will also be carried out within the Mavişehir Bazaar. Didim Mayor Hatice Gençay stated: “With these renovations, we aim to create an environment where citizens visiting the area can spend their time more comfortably, safely, and enjoyably.”

The Mayor stated that the rainwater drainage problem, which has plagued Mavişehir for years, will also be finally resolved. It was noted that the rainwater discharge works to be carried out in the parking area will significantly alleviate the infrastructure problems in the region.

Mayor Gençay met with members of the press to provide information about the municipality’s ongoing and planned investments.

She added: “We have completed the work here in the reed bed. There will be playgrounds, parks, and green areas. In addition, there will be playgrounds and bicycle paths in the park opposite this place. It will be a beautiful entrance. We will also do this project ourselves. We will complete all the work with an investment of 15 to 20 million TL.

“This includes the Mavişehir Market place, and we will finish all these works in May. Didim will be open to service; everything we do will contribute.”

With the completion of the project, it is expected that Mavişehir’s infrastructure problems will be largely resolved and that a new lease of life will be brought to the social life of the region.

She said: “We are treating every neighborhood in Didim with an equal service approach. Our Mavişehir neighborhood is gaining the value it deserves with its potential. With this project, we will make our neighborhood more livable, more modern, and more aesthetically pleasing.”
