A serious influx of 200,000 vacationers has been reported in the western province of Balıkesir's Avşa Island which normally has a population of 3,000, while additional ferry and sea bus services are organized to the island where hotels are also fully booked.

Many resort towns in Türkiye's coastal provinces have become overcrowded with holidaymakers as millions hit the road to stop by the coastal provinces to enjoy the sunny weather, beaches and sea during the Eid al-Adha holiday.
