Cittaslow International Stands with Demre Following the Floods

Cittaslow International expresses its solidarity with the community of Demre, Türkiye, following the floods that have affected our member town.

According to the information shared by Cittaslow Türkiye, no human lives were lost. Nevertheless, the damage to the natural environment, living spaces and wildlife is a source of deep concern and sadness for our entire network.

We join Cittaslow Türkiye in expressing our support for the people of Demre and our hope for a swift recovery, allowing the land to regain its fertility and nature and daily life to find their balance again.

At this difficult time, our thoughts are with everyone affected. Demre is part of our shared Cittaslow community, united by care for people, places and the environment.
