The locals are blaming the very wet winter Corfu suffered.
Myself and my wife were bitten on many occasions and so were most people. It's the worst we've suffered in many years holidaying in the Med. Even the locals are saying it's a prob especially this year. We've always sprayed every eve before going out for the night, using Autan, but they seemed resistant to it to be honest. Plus the liquid repellant machine was always on in our apt.
So on advice switched to Cintronella (i think that's what it's called) and these sprays only cost 3 euros in the supermarkets in San Stef. This seemed to be better protection.
The regs on the forum who frequent San Stef may see this as 'normal' but the locals are even saying it's especially problematic this year.

Every year we have been there has been lots of Mossies about and I usually do get bit. I have recently taken antihistamines with us as they help to relieve the itching from the bites. Also we always leave the air con as the little blighters don't like it to cold. ;D
For the room we always leave the plug in liquid repellent on 24/7 which also seems to help.

No real problems with the little blighters. On a couple of nights could feel them around my ankles when I'd forgotten to put repellent on. None in the room even. Didn't have to go on my mosquito hunt.
 I'll save everyone else posting this.....they probably don't like bad meat then!! LOL!
 I'll check out the situation in 26 days when I make my second visit this year!!LOL!
