Atopic dermatitis, or eczema, leads to dry, itchy and red patches of skin that flare and settle repeatedly.
What to know about eczema in Kalkan
Kalkan’s steep hillside streets, villa pools and boat trips bring turned ankles, sunburn and sea-urchin spines. 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 Kalkan
Before the 1920s Kalkan was a small Greek fishing village called Kalamaki. Tourist tip: stroll the old-town lanes, enjoy the harbour restaurants and take boat trips to Patara and Kaputas beaches. Galleries and boutique shops sell crafts and linen.
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.
- Insurance: check your travel policy before treatment and keep the invoice and prescription we send you.
