About tick bite
A tick bite occurs when a tick attaches itself to the skin and feeds on blood. Most are harmless, though some ticks carry infections.
Why tick bite happens
Ticks wait in long grass, scrub and woodland and attach when people or animals brush past. Walks, camping trips and picnics raise exposure.
Symptoms of tick bite
- A spreading rash
- Mild itching or soreness
- A tiny tick attached to the skin
- A small red area around the bite
Olympos-Cirali: local notes for tick bite
Olympos and Cirali are forested, with trails, ruins and a pebble beach, so insect bites, scrapes and sun are common. 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 Olympos-Cirali
Olympos was a Lycian port city, and today its ruins sit in a forested valley beside Cirali. Tourist tip: walk to the Chimaera flames at Yanartas after dark, hike a stretch of the Lycian Way and watch for nesting loggerhead turtles on the beach in season. Shopping is minimal; swimming and snorkelling are the water activities.
