Kilyos: local notes for acute pharyngitis
Kilyos suits walkers and explorers, but sun, ticks, insects and uneven paths mean minor injuries and bites are common. Close by are Heybeliada, Istanbul Airport, Sabiha Gokcen Airport, which share the same medical services. Dusty roads, campfire smoke and cold mountain mornings irritate the throat. Pack lozenges and a scarf.

Treatment can involve pain relief, throat lozenges or sprays and, only if a bacterial infection is likely, a short course of antibiotics.
