What to know about insect bites and sunburn 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. A beach day followed by a night out often means sunburn plus dehydration. Drink water and avoid more sun the next day.
Causes and risk factors
Time outdoors without protection, evening mosquito activity, swimming in the sea and walking barefoot on rocks.
