What to Know About Sunburn in Heybeliada
Days in Heybeliada are spent outdoors, which means sunburn, bites, dehydration and the occasional sprain. Other places within reach include Istanbul Airport, Sabiha Gokcen Airport, Sultanahmet.

Travel Guide to Heybeliada
Tourist tip: Heybeliada is a base for excursions, with hiking, boat trips and local crafts. Start early and carry water.
Common Triggers
Too long in strong sun without enough protection. Fair skin, midday sun, reflection off sea and sand and certain medicines make burning likelier.
Understanding Sunburn
Too much UV radiation burns the skin: it becomes red, hot and painful within hours, and blisters and peeling may follow.
Signs of Sunburn to Look for
- Peeling skin a few days later
- Pain and tightness
- Swelling and blisters in more severe cases
- Headache, chills or tiredness
Care and Treatment for Sunburn
The doctor views the skin on camera, judges the depth of the burn, advises on pain relief and skin care and prescribes treatment if suitable. Treatment can involve cooling gels, moisturisers, painkillers and, for intense burns, a stronger steroid cream.
- Get out of the sun and cool the skin with a cool shower or damp cloth
- Drink plenty of water
- Do not burst blisters, and keep the area covered from the sun
- Apply a soothing moisturiser or aloe vera gel
