Old Town: Local Notes for Tick Bite
Kaleici’s steep cobbled lanes, stone houses and old harbour reflect the heat, so long wanders often end in blisters, turned ankles and heat exhaustion. Long walking days, heat and crowds can slow recovery, so build in rest and shade and tell the doctor how your days are going.
Travel Guide to Old Town
Today’s Kaleici was the heart of ancient Attalia, and it still has Hadrian’s Gate, an old harbour and Ottoman houses. Trip for travellers: wander the lanes, take a boat trip from the old harbour and shop the small bazaars for ceramics, leather, spices and carpets. For a swim, use the small beaches below the old town or head to Konyaalti.

- Clean the area with soap and water
- Remove the tick promptly with fine-tipped tweezers close to the skin, pulling straight up
