Although there is a vehicle road just 100 meters in front of the Lava Rocks, it is extremely wrong to create a platform on the sand in the form of a railway by crossing the beach from the furthest point to the Lava Rocks. We can neither load nets on our fishing boats nor take the fish we caught. In addition, our friends who have been operating here for 30 years could not even drive 5 and 6 nails. Because it is a natural protected area, but our state did not make us do it. He drove 6 meters of pipes into the sand. They said that if the citizens do something about the coastline, but if the official institutions do something, there is no line. Sabri Denizci, who has been in business for 30 years on the beach, said, “I have been an operator here for 30 years. They put an iron barrier in front of us like a railway. When my customer sits down, he sees the beach sands and if he wants to see the sea, he has to stand up and get on the chair. This was done in the name of tourism. We are eating bread from tourism here, if this platform was built for us, why do we suffer from it? There is a vehicle road right in front of the lava rocks, and this could be done with a 100-meter platform by starting the platform from there. But there are different accounts here," he said. Güzelce Hisar Village Deputy Headman Deniz Denizbilen said, “We have been struggling since 2009 and no one listened to us. They are building the platform hastily, for 12 months, tourism will be an act here, but they will remove the boards they will lay on the platform in winter, and they will pass a train over the iron in winter. We wonder how tourism will be in 12 months. This platform is not only a walking area, but I guess it is considered as a source of income. Walking over the platform will be paid, no one can walk for free after such an expense. Our boats are behind the platform. Like Fatih Sultan Mehmet, we are sliding our boats from the land on the woods.”
