Therefore, before planning a vacation on the Crimean beach, it is necessary to clarify whether there are mosquitoes in the Crimea.
Varieties of mosquitoes on the peninsula

The number of bloodsuckers is critical in June and July, when the air temperature warms up above 23 degrees. With the approach of cold weather, the number of bloodsuckers decreases.

Places of accumulation of insects
In Yalta, Sevastopol and Sudak prey on people mosquitoescausing painful traces to a person. These bloodsuckers are found in some areas of Simferopol. In the forests of the mountainous Crimea, tourists “regret” painfully biting hollow mosquitoes.
Warm weather, the abundance of rain in early summer, which often results in the formation of damp places, as well as a decrease in the number of natural enemies of mosquito larvae (birds), contribute to the spread of blood-sucking insects.
However, there are places where there are no mosquitoes in Crimea. They are practically absent in Yevpatoriya and in the Old Crimea.
