Dalyan, Mugla - Turkey

It was reported in recent research why mosquitoes bite people. According to the research, the nose of mosquitoe consists of three different organs and with these organs mosquitoes recognize chemistry in the smell of the human body. Anyone who has carbon dioxide, octane and other materials are bitten more often by mosquitoes than other people.

The scientists have explained that they discovered a medicine with which they can hinder the sense of the smell of mosquitoes and they are working hard to further develop this medicine. It could be a solution for the disease malaria as well. Each year nearly 650 million individuals, especially in Africa, have this illness and nearly three million people, mostly children, die because of it.

The biggest problem in Dalyan which is located in Mugla: mosquitoes. The USA put this matter on the agenda. A USA ambassador has come in Dalyan and realized this problem. He asked authorities if the municipality medicates or not and learnt that the medicating has damaged the Caretta Caretta Turtles. Because of that, it isn’t medicated as well. It has been debated whether there is any solution for this problem.

    OUR BIG FAT TURKISH WEDDING

    Zekeriyya Yenilmez and Sophie Miles got married in Paradise Hotel, Dalyan on the 8th of September 2007 after a six year relationship.

    They met in August 2001 and the relationship continued from there, with Sophie making six visits to Turkey during 2002, her final year in school in the U.K. The couple's phonebills during this time were very expensive!

    Zeki was successfully granted his first visitors visa to the U.K in December 2002 and the couple flew back to the U.K in time for Christmas. Zeki stayed in the U.K for just over two months, returning to Turkey for the start of the new season. Sophie successfully completed her college course and joined Zeki for a long term stay in May 2003.

    The couple applied for a second visitors visa and returned to the U.K together in November. Zeki spent almost six months in the U.K this time, really getting to know Sophie's friends and family.

    The couple returned to Dalyan in May 2004 and decided to apply for a U.K settlement visa, regardless of the fact that they were not yet married. After seeking expert legal advise in the U.K, Zeki obtained a settlement visa for the U.K based on his relationship with Sophie as her, 'unmarried partner,' one of the first and only successfully granted visa's of this kind.

    The couple settled in the U.K, Sophie commencing a university degree in Graphic Design that she has recently completed to 2-1 standard, and Zeki setting up a very successful tiling and maintenance business that has enabled the couple to buy their first house just outside Cardiff last year.

    On Saturday September the 8th Sophie and Zeki finally got married surrounded by their friends and family in beautiful Dalyan, with more than 70 people flying from the U.K to witness the event.

    The couple haven't taken the easy route, but the honest one, and it has all been worth it in the end.
