The bacteria travel in droplets and through close contact; children and teenagers catch it most.

- Red, swollen tonsils, sometimes with white patches
- Sudden, intense sore throat
- Fever
- Swollen glands in the neck, typically without a cough
What to Know About Strep Throat in Kas
Kas is known for diving, kayaking and boat trips, which bring ear problems, cuts from rocks and sun exposure. Remote tours and outdoor days make it harder to reach help, so carry water, basic supplies and your medicines, and contact us early.
Travel Guide to Kas
Kas was the ancient Lycian port of Antiphellos, and you can still see rock tombs and a small theatre. Trip for travellers: dive, kayak over the sunken city at Kekova and browse the old-town boutiques and craft shops. The town is best known for its diving.
For Visitors from the UK, Australia, the US and New Zealand
