As someone who always tells my wife who is very nervous of dogs "don't worry, that dogs harmless", it was fate that I got bitten on the leg in May whilst cycling past Denis Sitesi (on left as you come in from Koca). I was told at the hospital that 3-5 people everyday are treated for dog bites in Fethiye, so maybe it a bigger problem than many people think. Also I can confirm that if you are bitten and the skin is broken, a visit to the hospital for a course of Rabies jabs (free) and tetanus, anti inflammatories and antibiotics only costs a 39 lira prescription. No need to use local doctors and insurance as your excess will be far more! The service was first class and I was never there more than 10 minutes on my 4 visits! I was told by a local Turkish lady who witnessed the event and cleaned the wound, the dog was not a stray.
