Old Town: Local Notes for Allergy
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. City air, dust, pollen and street food can all set off allergies. Carry antihistamines you have used before and check food ingredients.
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.
Common Triggers
Contact with an allergen such as pollen, dust mites, pet fur, certain foods, medicines, stings or plants. New foods and new surroundings on holiday can bring out allergies you did not know you had.
Understanding Allergy
An allergy is an overreaction of the immune system to something that is normally harmless, such as pollen, dust, food, medicines or insect stings. Reactions range from a runny nose and rash to, rarely, a intense emergency.
How Allergy Feels
- Itchy, red or watery eyes
- Itchy skin, rash or hives
- Swollen lips, face or eyelids
- Stomach upset after eating certain foods
- Sneezing, runny or blocked nose
Prevention Tips
Avoid known triggers, read food labels, ask restaurants about ingredients and carry your regular allergy medicine when you travel.
How Allergy Is Treated
The doctor asks about the trigger and your symptoms, looks at any rash or swelling on camera, recommends antihistamines or other treatment and prescribes if suitable. Options may include antihistamines, nasal sprays, eye drops, skin creams and, for severe allergy, emergency medicine such as adrenaline.
- Move away from the trigger where you can
- Rinse eyes and nose with clean water or saline
- Wash skin that has touched the trigger
