Part of the charm of bodrum is its exclusivity, its quaint feel and famous local whitewashed buildings. Restrictions are in place to prevent the area being over developed...... until now.
The restriction on height for building has now been lifted for hotels. These can now be built upto five storey's ... with "only four" being allowed in restricted areas. Concerns are that this is a doorway to ten storey units, maximising profits for both hotel chain and developer.
The prospect of hi rise hotels has been invited in - bringing in the prospect of radical alterations to hotels and complexes in the area. I dont want to see the area ruined and over developed like some others !
