Are mosquitoes common at hotels in Turkey, especially near rivers, and should I pack a room vaporizer and repellent?

Based on 1 discussion with 5 participants · Last activity: 5 days ago

TL;DR

Mosquitoes can be a real issue at hotels in Turkey, particularly near rivers and after dark. Pack a plug-in room vaporizer plus outdoor repellent; families may want to bring two vaporizers.

What the community said

An August traveler report noted mosquitoes and recommended packing a plug-in room vaporizer rather than relying on the hotel to provide one.

For a hotel beside a river, prepare for mosquitoes indoors as well: bring a plug-in vaporizer such as Fumitox and separate repellent spray for evening walks.

Children were reported to get bitten especially often, so families should pack both a room vaporizer and child-appropriate outdoor repellent.

One plug-in vaporizer may not be enough when mosquitoes are numerous in the room. A practical option is to bring two units plus repellent spray as backup.
