Too much UV radiation burns the skin: it becomes red, hot and painful within hours, and blisters and peeling may follow.
How Sunburn Feels

- Peeling skin a few days later

What Can Cause Sunburn
Spending too long in intense sun unprotected; pale skin, midday rays, glare from water and sand and some medicines all increase the chance.
Kaleici: Local Notes for Sunburn
Kaleici is the walled old harbour quarter of Antalya, with Roman gates, a tower, narrow Ottoman streets and boutique hotels, so hot cobbled walks and long days outdoors are typical. Strong sun, reflection from sea and sand and hours by the pool make burns common. Reapply sunscreen every two hours and drink water.
