Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in Kaleici: what to know locally
Kaleici is the walled old harbour quarter of Antalya, with Roman gates, a tower, narrow Ottoman streets and boutique hotels, so hot cobbled walks and long days outdoors are typical. After a long flight to the coast, a swollen calf should never be put down to heat alone. Get it checked the same day.

Long periods without moving, such as long flights, bus journeys or bed rest, recent surgery or injury, pregnancy, hormone medicines, dehydration, smoking and a history of clots can all raise the risk.

- Pain or cramp in the calf
- Heaviness or tenderness along the vein
- Sometimes no symptoms at all
- Swelling in one leg, usually the calf
About deep vein thrombosis (dvt)
Deep vein thrombosis is a blood clot in a deep vein, generally in the leg. Since it can move to the lungs, it requires prompt assessment, commonly with an ultrasound.
How deep vein thrombosis (dvt) is treated
Video cannot confirm a clot. The doctor evaluates the likelihood, organises an urgent leg ultrasound and in-person examination, and tells you where to go. Treatment can involve blood-thinning medicine started after the clot has been confirmed by a scan.
- Tell the doctor about recent flights, surgery or immobility
- Do not wait: arrange an assessment the same day
- Drink water and move around commonly on long journeys to lower the risk
- Do not massage or rub the painful leg
