Olympos-Cirali: Local Notes for Sinusitis (Sinus Infection)
Olympos and Cirali are forested, with trails, ruins and a pebble beach, so insect bites, scrapes and sun are common. Dust, pollen and flights can make sinus symptoms worse. Steam and saline help; see us before diving or flying.
Travel Guide to Olympos-Cirali
Olympos was a Lycian port city, and today its ruins sit in a forested valley beside Cirali. Tourist tip: walk to the Chimaera flames at Yanartas after dark, hike a stretch of the Lycian Way and watch for nesting loggerhead turtles on the beach in season. Shopping is minimal; swimming and snorkelling are the water activities.
For Visitors from the UK, Australia, the US and New Zealand
- No language barrier: Dr. Yasbala consults in English, so you can describe symptoms naturally.
- Emergency number: dial 112 in Turkey, not 999, 000, 111 or 911.
- Medicine names differ: paracetamol is called acetaminophen in the US, and brands in Turkey differ from home. Tell the doctor what you normally take, or send a photo of the packet.
- Insurance: check your travel policy before treatment and keep the invoice and prescription we send you.
- Any time zone: the on-demand doctor is available 24/7, whatever the time is back home.
