Marmaris: Local Notes for Conjunctivitis (Pink Eye)
Marmaris is famous for its marina, boat trips and lively bar streets, so sun, alcohol and tummy upsets are all part of the holiday risk. Smoke, late nights and unwashed hands irritate or spread eye infections. Take out contact lenses and rest the eyes.
Travel Guide to Marmaris
Marmaris was ancient Physkos, and its castle overlooks the harbour. Trip for travellers: explore the old town, shop the Grand Bazaar for textiles, leather and spices, and join a boat trip along the bays. Water sports include jet-skiing, parasailing, diving and windsurfing.

Understanding Conjunctivitis (Pink Eye)
Conjunctivitis is inflammation of the thin clear layer covering the white of the eye and the inner eyelids. Viral and bacterial types are contagious, while the allergic type is not.
Common Triggers
Viral or bacterial infection, commonly from touching the eyes with unwashed hands, shared towels or pools; allergies to pollen, dust or animals; and irritants such as chlorine or sunscreen.
Care and Treatment for Conjunctivitis (Pink Eye)
The physician works out the probable type from your description and photos, explains how to avoid passing it on and prescribes eye drops when appropriate. Treatment can involve hygiene, lubricating drops and, for bacterial cases, antibiotic eye drops; antihistamine drops for allergic cases.
- Avoid contact lenses until the eye has fully recovered
- Do not share towels or pillowcases
- Wash hands often and avoid rubbing the eyes
