Our Negative Comments About the Trip
Muradiye When we visited the waterfall and the small waterfalls just behind it, we were very sad that it was full of garbage.. It is obvious that such a beautiful natural wonder being left unattended and not paying attention to its cleanliness will create negativity in terms of the promotion of the waterfall.. An increase in the number of visitors can be achieved by making the surroundings of the waterfall a little more organized and paying attention to its cleanliness.
