Selimiye: Local Notes for Insect Bites and Sunburn
Selimiye suits walkers and explorers, but sun, ticks, insects and uneven paths mean minor injuries and bites are common. Close by are Bozburun, Kumlubuku, Adakoy, which share the same medical services. Open water, strong sun and exposed trails raise the risk, and sea urchins and jellyfish are frequent around rocks. Wear water shoes.
