That Avon stuff seems to work exceptionally well for us, only had one bite so far. But we’ve just come back from a couple of days in Turunc staying with friends, and everywhere we went in the mornings we were pestered with wasps. Almost as bad as they can be back home. It can be an enjoyable pastime to watch the hysterical flailing’s people attempt in order to get rid of these pests.
One other point, slightly off topic; we noticed that there are hardly any ‘street dogs’ at all in Turunc. In discussion with others during our visit who’d visited other parts of Turkey they too concluded that street dogs must be a unique feature for Kalkan?

I got back from Kalkan last Sunday and didn't get bitten once. I used Boots Repell and took a daily antihistamine.

Came back Monday, didn't get bitten the first few days then noticed a few small ones as did my OH and he did have a blister appear on his face, then I woke up one morning to discover five large red blotches down my one arm which were starting to blister, almost looked as if I'd laid on them, probably olive flies or jumping spiders. Applied cream the pharmacist gave me last year for a blister on my eye and they improved and didn't blister any worse so didn't weep. Sprayed the bedroom every night with Raid and didn't have a problem there. Had started using my moisturiser after showering just before I got bittten, wondered if they had a taste for it so stopped and only had one or two small mossies bites afterwards. Just used Avon SSS before going outside. Still itching but hey I'll put up with it just love going to Kalkan whatever!!

Until a few years ago I thought I must be going round Kalkan with a sign on me saying 'Mozzies, get your lunch here' but now I take antihistamine tablets every day and use Boots Repel wipes whenever we go out in the evening. No more mozzie problems, but I must admit the olive flies are a pain during the day, especially during early summer.
