What to know about rosacea in Kilyos
Kilyos suits walkers and explorers, but sun, ticks, insects and uneven paths mean minor injuries and bites are common. Close by are Heybeliada, Istanbul Airport, Sabiha Gokcen Airport, which share the same medical services. Remote tours and outdoor days make it harder to reach help, so carry water, basic supplies and your medicines, and contact us early.
