    hi have been going to marmaris for 11 years 3/4 times a year only ever been bitten twice by mosquitoes.

    Thank you! I am allergic to the bites and swell up really badly, so it's always a bit scary! :eek: When I went to Majorca last year, I had no bites at all, but when I got back to review the hotel I went to, there were UNTOLD reports of mozzy bites it was unreal!! I obviously got off lightly! :eek:

    Im allergic to the bites too. horrible when they swell up!
    I read that there were mosquitoes and so I took a plug in thing and used the repellant wipes when we went out and for the first time on a holiday I didnt get bitten at all. they usually get me even if I am covered in repellant so I got off well. phew!
    make sure you take some stuff anyway, and anti-histemene tablets and cream :)
  • And don't wear lots of scented products - it attracts them!

    TBH nothing but deoderant is safest if you want to avoid being bitten.
    :wave:
