Maybe THIS should be the final solution :

Well I'd love to see this! Everyone's interpretation of music is different, so dancing they'd look like they were all crazy!

Forgive me if I am wrong, and I am sure someone will correct me, but I think the problem is that Fethiye itself is now controlled and funded from Mugla, which is an AK party stronghold. I have noticed that Fethiye itself is also not so clean nowadays, maybe because of funding? We have so many buses here now, dolmus plus also the 'big' buses that now seem to run to lots of areas. There are so many buses now parked in Fethiye near to Ozsut that it is sometimes very difficult for traffic to pass. I am not suggesting that more public transport is a bad thing, but this does seem to  be overkill. Saatci,the mayor of Fethiye is not AK party, so possibly this is being used politically. Seydikemer is an AK party town and seems to be faring better...... Personally I would rather not live in an AK party controlled town even if it does mean better cleaning etc.... Is the Zabita responsible for noise levels in the bars in Hisaronu, or the Jandarma in Oludeniz.

Is the Zabita responsible for noise levels in the bars in Hisaronu, or the Jandarma in Oludeniz.

Both. The Zabita are the Turkish equivalent of the UK's Environmental Health Officers. They generally issue warnings and enforcement notices in respect of noise, licencing of premises, weights and measures, hygiene etc.  If they're ignored they refer the matter to the Jandarma. However, the Jandarma can just go straight in and shut a venue down without the involvement of the Zabita if they think it warrants it.

I don't know what it's like now, but a few years ago, the Zabita didn't venture into Oludeniz very often. It was mostly left to the Jandarma Garrison in Oludeniz to take care of matters on their own doorstep.

First of all Muğla is governed by CHP the social democrat main opposition , not AK Parti. The majority of Fethiye Municipality seats are also CHP members. Unfortunately the Fethiye mayor Saatci himself said , he would campaign for AK Parti if they would make Fethiye itself a province.

Since Muğla province has gained Big City ( Büyük Şehir ) status since the communal elections in 2014 , Fethiye municipality is no more independent like before. This applies to decisions and also income of the town. As mentioned the buses e.g. and the tap water and controlling of main roads is done by Muğla. This situation is new for Fethiye , but Istanbul , Ankara , Izmir and other big provinces are ruled the same way.

Fethiye Municipality is responsible for environment matters like noise control till midnight , then Jandarma ( or Police in Fethiye town ) is responsible. After midnight no music is allowed in open areas and bars , discos etc have to close their doors and make music in isolated areas not to be heard from outside.

Well we had a day trip to Hisaronu yesterday and won't be going back it was non stop hassle from shops beauty salons etc also felt very intimidated in one shop when we were trying to find a hoodie, we realised  Calis is tame in comparison and have now named it Harasonu, not trying to upset ny Husaronu lovers but was defo not for us

If I were the municipality , I would make available at restaurants , bars and shops some questionnaire forms to find out what tourists and visitors like and dislike in Hisarönü and elsewhere if possible.

Then I would try to make things better based on the results the next season.

I always quite liked Hisaronu for a walk around the shops and a drink.
However, now I think I like it more.  It is not so mad during the day  We enjoyed our meal at the Shine probably because it was only 6.30pm and we did leave before all the party people came out.  We have found a couple of shops that are not the same as all the others.  One in particularly where we have bought items for our Villa
I think this time we actually stood back and thought what a lovely setting the town is in.  I  took some pictures in the town centre something I had never done before, I think because we now have more time we are appreciating that you can forget the commercialised town and look at the bigger picture.    We can just take the bits we like from Hisaronu and forget the rest.

Jacqui - Personally I won't classify that as Hisaronu town centre.

My better half remembers Hisaronu when it was nothing more than a road junction with a small pension, a couple of mangy dugs and selection of livestock.  Might even have some pictures somewhere, will try to look them out.
