Alanya: Local Notes for Tick Bite
Alanya is a lively spot, so late nights, alcohol and sun often combine into one bad day. Other places within reach include Kas, Kalkan, Kadriye. Late nights, alcohol and little sleep can make many conditions harder to shake, so rest, drink water and tell the doctor what you have been drinking and taking.

Cleopatra Beach is good for swimming, with diving, jet-skiing and paragliding on offer.

What Is Tick Bite?
Ticks cling to the skin and feed on blood. Most are harmless, though some ticks carry infections.

How to Lower Your Risk of Tick Bite
Wear long trousers and closed shoes on trails, use repellent, stay on paths and check your skin and clothes after being outdoors.
