Ban on Unauthorized Caravan Parking

The Didim Public Health Council has decided to ban unauthorized caravan parks and tent settlements. The ban applies to coastal areas, parks, and recreation sites, where such practices have increased in recent years.

Winter caravanning requires adherence to safety rules and consideration of regulatory changes. Before a trip, it is necessary to check the tires, lighting, and brakes of the trailer, and avoid parking near water or on uneven ground. Since 2023, trailers (O1) must be registered in the ARTES system and undergo periodic inspections, while towing trailers over 750 kg requires a BE driver's license.

Tekirdag Metropolitan Municipality has completely banned caravans and motorhomes from parking in the city center. The decision has sparked criticism from travelers and local businesses, who highlight its contradictory nature and suggest creating designated, fee-based parking areas with facilities.
