Understanding seasonal allergy (hay fever)
Seasonal allergy, also called hay fever, is an allergic reaction to pollen that causes sneezing, a runny nose and itchy eyes.
Typical symptoms
- Tiredness and headache
- Runny or blocked nose
- Itchy, watery eyes
- Sneezing
Why seasonal allergy (hay fever) happens
Pollen from trees, grasses and weeds. Spring and early summer are peak seasons in many parts of Turkey, and travel to a new place can mean new pollen.
What to know about seasonal allergy (hay fever) 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.
