we found the worst time is daytime..but some people are more tasty than others,thats why some don''t get munched...they are only about the size of a pin head! we stayed along kalamar road about 6 years ago and they were rife!!things do seem to have got better...

Yes definitely worse in the daytime....it''s like shift work. The Olive flies clock off at dusk and the mozzies take over. I was bitten loads last year, but I think switching from good old nasty Deet to Avon Skin So Soft was my real downfall. I smelt nice, I slipped over in the bathroom a few times, I wasn''t using anything awash with nasty chemicals, but boy was I attacked 
Stock up on the repellents, Neil - Mrs Fid will thank you for it, even if you seem unscathed

Hiya K4E,Mrs fid never seems to get bitten by anything,every country we have been to its me who seems to get munched,but In kalkan I seem to get away with only a couple of bites which dont last to long and dont cause a problem,maybe because I feel so comfortable in kalkan the beasties leave me alone.
(or is it the Raki and Efes ? )

Someone told me it was all down to blood groups..and the amount of sugar in your system that determines your attraction to biting insects....it could well be the Efes that protects you, Neil. My BH drinks his body weight in it whilst we''re away and always comes home unscathed (but in need of a detox  )

Yes I know....we need to stay on topic
