Manavgat: what to know locally
Manavgat is known for its waterfall and river boat trips, so boat days, sun and sea water mix together. After a day on the beach, a sunburn, an ear infection or a stomach bug can appear quickly, so it allows to know a doctor is a message away.
For German-speaking guests
- Deutschsprachiger Arzt: Dr. Yasbala speaks German, so you can describe your symptoms (Beschwerden) in your own language.
- Rezept und Rechnung: your e-prescription and invoice reach you by email or WhatsApp, so you can submit them to your Auslandskrankenversicherung.
- Insurance: German travel insurers such as ADAC, ERGO, Dr. Walter and UrlaubsDoc are on our insurance list. Please message us on WhatsApp before your visit.
- Families: all-inclusive hotels here are full of children. Ask us about fever, tummy bugs or sunburn in children, and about a Kinderarzt (paediatrician) appointment.
