Sinusitis (sinus infection) in Cappadocia: what to know locally
Cappadocia’s dawn balloon flights and rocky valleys bring cold early starts, dust and uneven paths. Dust, pollen and flights can make sinus symptoms worse. Steam and saline help; see us before diving or flying.

For visitors from the UK, Australia, the US and New Zealand
- 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.
- Medicine names differ: paracetamol is called acetaminophen in the US, and brands in Turkey differ from home. Tell the doctor what you normally take, or send a photo of the packet.
- Insurance: check your travel policy before treatment and keep the invoice and prescription we send you.
- Any time zone: the on-demand doctor is available 24/7, whatever the time is back home.
