What to know about eczema in Olympos-Cirali
Olympos and Cirali are forested, with trails, ruins and a pebble beach, so insect bites, scrapes and sun are common. 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 Olympos-Cirali
Olympos was a Lycian port city, and today its ruins sit in a forested valley beside Cirali. Tourist tip: walk to the Chimaera flames at Yanartas after dark, hike a stretch of the Lycian Way and watch for nesting loggerhead turtles on the beach in season. Shopping is minimal; swimming and snorkelling are the water activities.

- 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.
