KTLN reports that a British man believed to be staying in Kalkan, drowned yesterday afternoon at Patara beach...A very sad piece of news...It's easy to forget that a place of such beauty can still hold dangers for adults as well as children...
-
Indeed, tragic. Personally I'm not sure if the photo of the beach afterwards is necessary or tasteful given the circumstances.
-
Actually, I think the photo is OK as its captions say:
"Photograph taken yesterday, shortly after the tragic drowning at Patara beach. "
It shows the sea conditions, which may not look too rough to an inexperienced sea swimmer so serve as a warning to be very careful on beaches with known rips & currents.
My sympathy to the victim's family & friends.

I see where your going with that Sally... Have to say looking at it again the sea doesn't look that rough does it. Tragic. My thoughts are with the friends and family at this time. Especially poignment as a close friend of mine died from drowning on holiday in Portugal.
-
Agree with Sally.
A stark reminder to us all of the inherent dangers associated with swimming in the sea.
Parents should take particular note and supervise their children at all times.
