Diarrhea: The so-called
revenge of
Montezuma is caused mostly by
icy-cold drinks which are drunk for eating too quickly.
Should you suffer only
from diarrhea, without cramps and fever, there is an old
Turkisk remedy of two tablespoons of ground
Turkish coffee mixed with the juice of one lemon. It tastes horrible,
but it helps in simple cases. (The coffee helps to calm
the intestinal mucous
membrane and helps to get the function back to normal).If
the symptoms are more severe (fever, cramps) it could indicate a viral
infection and you should consult a doctor for the appropriate treatment.You
may be prescribed a special diet with lots of liquid for two
to three
days until things are normal again.After that you can
enjoy once again, the delights of the
Turkish kitchen!
Discotheques:
In the summer evenings there are many small
bars and discos with Live
music. You can find discos in
the bigger hotels and
in every holiday resort. In Side
the OXIDE and LIGHTHOUSE are
the discotheques, in Alanya there
is the AUDITORUM.
In Göynük,
near Kemer, there is the
new METRONOME. In Kemer one goes
to the AURA or the
BUDA. If you prefer a disco which can rival the best of
Europe then you should patronise the 'Olympos disco" of the Falez Hotel in Antalya.
Here it starts at 11:30 pm promptly.
Inside tip! At the Olympos, the Disco
fanatic finds the newest trends around in the realm of disco. A
friendly ambiance and superb sound system await
you.
Diving:
There is a diving-school in every big hotel resort.
It is prohibited to dive alone without a state
diving-leader because of the many historic
treasures in the water. If you do not comply with this
restriction you are liable to severe penalties.
Most big hotels and vacation
resorts have their own diving-schools with
certified diving-instructors.
Documents:
For entry into Turkey, the identity card or passport
is sufficient for EU citizens. Holiday-makers from Austria must buy a visa
upon
entry at the airport.. With the entry visa you may stay up to three
months in the country. If you wish
to stay for a longer period,you must apply to the Foreign
Authority (Emniyet Müdürlügü
Antalya Tel: 2279607) and it may be possible to secure a
residence permit from 6 month to
up to five years.You
must be able to prove at this time that you are financially secure (for example through presentation of a bank
account held at a Turkish bank),
and that you able to support yourself. A residence permit does not constitute a work-permit!!
Dolmus:
(pronounced: „Dolmusch") The
most economical way to
move around here is to ride with the Dolmus,
a kind of small bus.For
a small amount of money you can travel through
the city and for bit more, through the country. In front
of the Dolmus window you can read the ride destinations
of that particular bus. You pay the driver upon
leaving the dolmus as there are no tickets issued.If you change the
dolmus then you must pay again. For a ride from
Kemer to Antalya (approx. 45 km) one pays about
2,50 EURO. A city ride in Antalya costs approx. 60
cent (set price!). The dolmus stops
anywhere passengers want to get off but despite the many stops,it is
an interesting experience to
travel by Dolmus. A must for every holiday-maker
in Antalya! My recommendation: Always pay the
dolmus with YTL as if you pay with Euro you end up paying too much.It
is mandatory for the current fare list to be
posted up in the bus.
