Guvercinlik: Local Notes for Sore Throat
Guvercinlik 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 Yahsi, Bodrum, Marmaris, which share the same medical services. Chlorinated pools, dry air conditioning and shouting over entertainment irritate the throat. Warm drinks help; avoid very cold ones.
