TL;DR
Mosquitoes are present in Antalya, especially in residential areas with gardens and on ground floors. They're mostly a problem indoors at night — outdoors you can walk freely.
What the community said
Ground floor apartments in Antalya complexes tend to have the worst mosquito problems — residents report being unable to open balconies at night due to bites.

It's advisable to bring mosquito repellent from home to save time searching locally. As of late June, some areas of Antalya report minimal mosquito activity.

In the Konyaaltı and Gürsü districts, mosquitoes enter through open windows at night — just a few per room, but their bites cause intense itching. They likely breed in the many private gardens in these areas. Outdoors, mosquitoes are not a problem and evening walks are comfortable.
