No more English water bills for Didim's British residents - but free Turkish lessons instead.

Didim has long been very welcoming of its British residents, even to the point of providing water bills in English.

Sadly for those whose Turkish is not up to deciphering meter readings and payment instructions, Didim Council recently responded to pressure from the Turkish Language Foundation who pointed out that the English bills were unconstitutional. The water bills, formerly in English for British homeowners, will now all be issued in Turkish.

But that isn't the end of the story. Didim Council have come up with another plan, bound to please the Turkish Language Foundation and with far wider benefits than being able to understand water bills: free Turkish lessons! The lessons, aimed at beginners, will run on a three-monthly cycle throughout the year, with more advanced lessons planned for the future.

Of course, you don't have to negotiate with desk clerks at the council, or the electric company, to make sure your bills are paid on time. Here at Dizayn Homes we will help you to set up direct debits and keep Didim home ownership worry-free!
