Bodrum experienced maximum damage, with streams overflowing with water and rocks falling from hills, blocking the main roads. Several ground floor houses and offices got completely flooded.


According to the Turkish State Meteorological Service, around 155 kilos of rainfall per square meter fell on Marmaris.

This massive flood damaged hundreds of round timbers that were cut from the trees burnt in the summer wildfires to the district’s center. The roads got blocked, connecting the İçmeler and Turunç neighborhoods because of the logs.


“Some 61 flood incidents occurred in some 25 houses, two hotels and various lands,” a provincial fire company in Marmaris said in a statement.


Residents of the Gümüşlük neighborhood of Milas had to put coal sacks in front of their residences to prevent floodwater entering their houses.
