Republic Day, Turkey

 29 Oct, 2014
Republic Day in Turkey is on October 29 each year and commemorates the creation of the Turkish Republic in 1923. Many people in Turkey celebrate Republic Day by attending performances and participating in traditional processions with flags and musical bands. The Turkish Republic’s founder Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, proclaimed the Republic Day as Turkey’s most important holiday.

The Finike Marina held a ceremony on the hard stand area using the travel lift to hang the huge flag of Ataturk. A rather clever and different idea we thought. Even though it was a rainy, miserable day but lots of marina folk and the marina personnel, donned their wet weather gear for the occasion.
