Yesilkoy: local notes for sunburn
In Yesilkoy visitors move through crowds all day, which spreads colds and flu, and heat and hills add sprains and sore feet. Other places within reach include Istinye, Tarabya, Kilyos. Hours of sightseeing in open squares can burn you before you notice. Wear a hat, use sunscreen and rest in the shade.
Why sunburn happens
