Old Town: Local Notes for Scabies
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. Long walking days, heat and crowds can slow recovery, so build in rest and shade and tell the physician how your days are going.
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.
How Scabies Is Treated
The doctor can look at photos and symptoms, prescribe a scabies treatment where suitable and explain how to treat contacts and the home. Itching can continue for weeks after the mites are gone. Typical choices are permethrin cream or ivermectin tablets, plus treating contacts and washing bedding.
