Old Town: local notes for urinary tract infection (uti)
Kaleici’s steep cobbled lanes, stone houses and old harbour reflect the heat, so long wanders often end in blisters, turned ankles and heat exhaustion. Busy sightseeing days make it easy to skip drinks and delay the toilet, both of which raise the risk. Carry water.
Travel guide to Old Town
Today’s Kaleici was the heart of ancient Attalia, and it still has Hadrian’s Gate, an old harbour and Ottoman houses. Trip for travellers: wander the lanes, take a boat trip from the old harbour and shop the small bazaars for ceramics, leather, spices and carpets. For a swim, use the small beaches below the old town or head to Konyaalti.
Causes and risk factors
Bowel bacteria that travel to the urethra are the usual culprit. Dehydration, putting off trips to the toilet, hours in damp swimwear, heat, travel fatigue and new partners all add to the risk when you are away.
Typical symptoms
- Frequent, urgent need to pass urine, often only a little
- Burning or stinging when urinating
- Sometimes blood in the urine
- Lower belly or pelvic discomfort
