What to Know About Ear Infection in Alanya
Alanya is a lively spot, so late nights, alcohol and sun often combine into one bad day. Close by are Kas, Kalkan, Kadriye, which share the same medical services. Late nights, alcohol and little sleep can make many conditions harder to shake, so rest, drink water and tell the doctor what you have been drinking and taking.
Travel Guide to Alanya
In antiquity the town was Coracesium, later Kalonoros, and the Seljuk sultan Alaeddin Keykubad gave it the name Alaiye, which became Alanya. Tourist tip: climb to Alanya Castle, see the Red Tower and Damlatas Cave, and shop the bazaar for souvenirs and leather. Cleopatra Beach is good for swimming, with diving, jet-skiing and paragliding on offer.
