Local tips for cold and flu in Marmaris
Marmaris is famous for its marina, boat trips and lively bar streets, so sun, alcohol and tummy upsets are all part of the holiday risk. Late nights, little sleep and crowded bars wear down your resistance and spread viruses. Sleep and fluids help most.
Travel guide to Marmaris
Marmaris was ancient Physkos, and its castle overlooks the harbour. Trip for travellers: explore the old town, shop the Grand Bazaar for textiles, leather and spices, and join a boat trip along the bays. Water sports include jet-skiing, parasailing, diving and windsurfing.
Causes and risk factors
Droplets from coughs and sneezes, and contaminated surfaces, spread the viruses. Crowded airports, planes, hotels and buffets make them easy to catch while travelling.
