Get some "Off" Spray it morning, noon and especially night.  We have been here over one week and I have used it every day...Touch wood no mozzie bites....

Toothpaste is good for soothing the bites.

1% Hydrocortisone cream for bites.  Takes the itch away immediately.

One of the lovely waiters in Fethiye Iskele advised my daughter to get AMONIAC (Spelling?) from chemist for my grand daughter when she was bitten.

All I do if I get bitten is to heat a teaspoon under the tap, quite hot, and hold it for 10 seconds on the bite, it stops the itching immediately and the bite just disappears after a day or two

The worst bites are the black flies.   They seem to lurk under tables outside.  So, if you are going out, put plenty of spray on your feet and legs.

I find eating plenty of Marmite puts the mozzies off of biting me. The lemon cologne worked well for me too.

If you're not a fan of Marmite, take vitamin B tablets which contain thiamin, an ingredient in Marmite which seems to act as a repellent to mosquitoes.

We tried the tablets about 4 year ago took them for one month before we arrived. Did no good, still got bitten. No matter how many deterrents people advise, it is a proven fact that only products with Deet. With deter mosquitoes.

I tried the hot spoon on the bite once but obviously it was too hot and I burnt my skin, which then looked hideous for ages! I don't know which was better, the pain of the bite or the burn!

Don't wear perfume - I don't and never get bitten.
