Vandalism
I am generally impressed with the low level of vandalism in Fethiye. Even graffiti seems to be low level and, unfortunately, often in English.
Walking into town this morning I was distressed to see the new modern sculpture in the form of a sun dial near Hello Cafe has been smashed with rocks taken from the flower borders.
This conjunction of art and science made of marble and steel was an absolute delight - a thing of beauty. Only in place for a week, it is now in bits.
Officials are on site now seemingly trying to make a repair.
A few weeks ago a marble sign was smashed only a few yards from todays vandalism. It was repaired before the day's end. I hope they can fix this damage.

Re: Vandalism
Passing the scene this morning, they have errected a frame to form a glass wall around the sun dial to protect it in the future. Full marks to Fethiye officials for fast action.

They should install a camera and catch those animals.

Re: Vandalism
I unfortunately didn't get to see the sundial unbroken, i think it lasted less than 48hrs intact? all the more disappointing because it was a gift to the people of Fethiye as a thank you for being allowed to start a business in the area. at least if it had been spray paint it could have been washed off, this seems worse than vandalism somehow.
