Guzeloba: Local Notes for Dog Bite
Guzeloba is built for beach days, and the strong sun, salty water and shared buffets behind them explain most of the health problems travellers report. Close by are Kundu, Colakli, Gundogdu, which share the same medical services. Stray dogs wander beaches and hotel grounds. Do not feed or pet them, and wash any bite for 15 minutes before getting help.
