Mozzies now

[debra]

Hi everyone

Can anyone tell me if the ferocious mozzies are still as bad?  Getting ready to go.  21 of us in our party descending on Ag Stef for oru sons wedding plus about 20 others.  Really, really looking forward to it.

Thank you!

Seems to depend where you are. I have zero bites, Gillie has three - probably because we ventured from the old village into the new last night.

Here is a link to a news article about the large number of mozzies

Hope they dwindle by the time we go

They were shocking this year, especially our first week.
I very rarely get bit bar one year in Egypt when they got me about 20 times on one foot!!

Worse night was when we ate at Nafsica. You could see and hear them buzzing you. Got about 3 bites sat there that night!

Daughter currently has well over 20 in last 6 days, using plug ins and various anti mossie stuff doesn't seem to be doing much  . She must have fantastic tasting blood!

Yes, I find the Nafsica worst for mozzies too.
Got a few in June, but not too bad, hope we escape them in August.

I am seriously thinking about taking more anti mozzie stuff than normal

Don't know whether to say thank you or not!!!!  The little blighters...............

When we last visited San Stef in 2010 we got bitten loads of times and we used autan spray, citronella from the village and we always kept our liquid mosiquito plug in on.

Normally any bites in the Med or canaries are v few and far between - some hols zero bites.

Without doubt San Stef was, and still is, worst place we've been for mossie bites in last 20 years. Anyone know why the blighters seem so resistant to spray, etc in San Stef?

Glad of forums like this though for such information

We always use medium strength jungle formula, and plenty of it. So far we've come away relatively unscathed.
Hope it will be the same this year - we will find out starting tomorrow

It's been said many times on the forum over several weeks now, try Incognito from Amazon, (£7 for 100ml post free) worked well for me, 17 nights and only one bite

Thanks Diane.
Leave for airport 1.00 am. Whole family already clock watching. Fear it is going to be a long afternoon/evening.

Never ever been bitten at Nafsika. Spent six weeks there last year - no bites. Been there three times this week with no spray on. No bites.

My experience of Agios Stefanos is that is one of the lowest mozzie-infected places I've been to in Greece.
