Local tips for sunburn in Tekirova
Most guests in Tekirova are there for the sea, and the sun, the chlorine and the buffet queues cause most of the minor illnesses. Close by are Belek, Side, Alanya, which share the same medical services. Strong sun, reflection from sea and sand and hours by the pool make burns frequent. Reapply sunscreen every two hours and drink water.
Travel guide to Tekirova
Tekirova lies beside the ruins of ancient Phaselis, a former port city with three harbours. Trip for travellers: combine the ruins with a swim in the bays, then walk the pine-forest paths nearby. Shops here are limited, so buy souvenirs in Kemer; diving and boat trips are the main water activities.
Why sunburn happens
Too long in strong sun without enough protection. Fair skin, midday sun, reflection off sea and sand and certain medicines make burning likelier.
Typical symptoms
- Peeling skin a few days later
- Pain and tightness
- Swelling and blisters in more intense cases
- Headache, chills or tiredness
- Red, hot and tender skin
