- Blisters in more intense sunburn
- Headache or feeling unwell after heavy sun exposure

Oludeniz has the Blue Lagoon and paragliding from Babadag, so sun, sea and activity injuries are common. Open water, strong sun and exposed trails raise the risk, and sea urchins and jellyfish are frequent around rocks. Wear water shoes.
