Are there a lot of mosquitoes in Turkey in summer, and do you need bug spray?

Based on 2 discussions with 5 participants · Last activity: 8 days ago

TL;DR

Yes — mosquitoes and midges are noticeably active in the evenings and at night in summer, so travelers recommend bringing repellent spray/cream and a plug-in mosquito repellent (fumitox).
