About ankle sprain
Twisting the foot can stretch or tear the ankle ligaments, which is a sprain, one of the most frequent injuries while travelling.
Typical symptoms
- Tenderness when you touch it
- Stiffness and a feeling that the ankle is unstable
- Swelling and bruising
- Difficulty putting weight on the foot
Why ankle sprain happens
Uneven paths, steps, slippery floors, soft sand and poor footwear lead to a rolled ankle, and sport, hikes, dancing and flip-flops increase the chance.
What to know about ankle sprain in Old Town
Kaleici’s steep cobbled lanes, stone houses and old harbour reflect the heat, so long wanders often end in blisters, turned ankles and heat exhaustion. Steep cobbled streets and worn steps cause many sprains. Wear shoes with grip and rest the ankle before sightseeing more.
Travel guide to Old Town
Today’s Kaleici was the heart of ancient Attalia, and it still has Hadrian’s Gate, an old harbour and Ottoman houses. Trip for travellers: wander the lanes, take a boat trip from the old harbour and shop the small bazaars for ceramics, leather, spices and carpets. For a swim, use the small beaches below the old town or head to Konyaalti.
