Causes and Risk Factors
Too much time in strong sun without enough protection. Fair skin, midday sun, reflection from sea and sand, and certain medicines make burning more likely.
What Is Sunburn?
Too much UV radiation burns the skin: it becomes red, hot and painful within hours, and blisters and peeling may follow.
Local Tips for Sunburn in Icmeler
Icmeler is a calmer bay beside Marmaris with family beaches, so children’s fevers, sunburn and swimmer’s ear are typical. Daytime sun followed by alcohol at night makes dehydration and burns worse. Cool the skin, drink water and avoid more sun.
Travel Guide to Icmeler
Icmeler is a quieter bay near Marmaris, reached by road or small water taxi. Tourist tip: enjoy the long beach, try paddleboarding and banana boats, and walk the promenade cafes and shops.
Avoiding Sunburn on Holiday
Use a high-factor sunscreen, reapply every two hours, wear a hat and sunglasses and stay in the shade between late morning and mid afternoon.
