TL;DR
It varies by location and season: some areas in Turkey have heavy mosquitoes in the evenings that even fumigators can't handle, while others report no mosquitoes at all even with windows open at night.
A guest doesn't recall mosquitoes at the Rama hotel, but always packs a repellent just in case — it has never actually been needed.
During a June trip, not a single mosquito was seen, and flies weren't bothersome either.
Over a 5-day stay, mosquitoes were very rare: only one was seen in the room, and another one bothered them at the beach.
In one report covering a 10-day stay, there were no mosquitoes at all; only small gnats were occasionally noticed outdoors.
Another recent report says no mosquitoes were seen at all before 10 pm, so at least during the earlier evening hours they were not an issue.
Mosquitoes were present every single one of the 12 evenings of the stay.
No mosquitoes at all, but flies were a serious nuisance at the bar and outdoors — they landed on plates, making it impossible to eat outside.
Mosquitoes are present, but a plug-in fumigator works well — a few mosquitoes on the ceiling were dealt with overnight and guests slept undisturbed. [Fumigator effective]
At one hotel there were no mosquitoes during the day or evening — guests slept with the window open despite having air conditioning available. Hot and sunny, but no insect issues.
One hotel had a severe mosquito problem in the evenings — impossible to sit outside. The hotel grounds are not treated with insecticide. The sea was beautiful enough to make up for it.
Mosquitoes were a problem even indoors in the evenings — a plug-in fumigator did not help and guests were still bitten inside the room.
