Diarrhea means passing loose, watery stools more frequently than usual. When travelling it most frequently comes from contaminated food or water and normally resolves in a few days.
Local tips for diarrhea in Kas
Kas is known for diving, kayaking and boat trips, which bring ear problems, cuts from rocks and sun exposure. Remote tours and outdoor days make it harder to reach help, so carry water, basic supplies and your medicines, and contact us early.
Travel guide to Kas
Kas was the ancient Lycian port of Antiphellos, and you can still see rock tombs and a small theatre. Trip for travellers: dive, kayak over the sunken city at Kekova and browse the old-town boutiques and craft shops. The town is best known for its diving.
For visitors from the UK, Australia, the US and New Zealand
- No language barrier: Dr. Yasbala consults in English, so you can describe symptoms naturally.
- Emergency number: dial 112 in Turkey, not 999, 000, 111 or 911.
- Medicine names differ: paracetamol is called acetaminophen in the US, and brands in Turkey differ from home. Tell the doctor what you normally take, or send a photo of the packet.

Prevention tips
Follow food and water hygiene, wash hands, avoid food that has sat out in the heat and carry rehydration sachets.
How diarrhea is treated
The doctor can judge dehydration, ask about food and travel history, advise on fluids and diet and prescribe appropriate medicines where suitable. Stool tests can be arranged if needed. Typical choices are oral rehydration solutions and, where suitable, medicines to slow diarrhoea; antibiotics only for specific causes.
- Wash hands carefully to avoid spreading it
- Avoid alcohol, caffeine and very fatty food
- Sip oral rehydration solution little and often
- Eat plain foods when you can
