Sinusitis (Sinus Infection) in Old Town: What to Know Locally
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. Pollution, dust and pollen in busy cities aggravate sinuses. Saline rinses help; avoid flying until it eases.
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 Sinusitis (Sinus Infection) Is Treated
