Fatih: Local Notes for Insect Bites and Sunburn
Fatih is a busy visitor area, so long days on foot, crowds and street food are the usual causes of illness. Close by are Bosphorus, Golden Horn, Galata, which share the same medical services. Sightseeing with little shade burns shoulders and necks, and sandals invite blisters. Wear a hat and cover up between sights.
