A bad experience? For me, the sand flies. I reacted allergically without noticing that it was an allergy and that spoiled some of my nights and days and nearly my holidays there. My husband had sandfly bites as well - but did not suffer. I kept these horrible marks for weeks and it took about 6-8 weeks after they disappeared completely! Nobody seemed to know, where they actually appear from and at what time of the year and what they look like. But the doctor, I had to go to in the end, told me to stay away from these green leaves on the beaches. And indeed - one day, when we had a very sweatening walk to one hidden beach (climbing over a hill), we stopped next to some of these leaves to breath some air - and ..... my husband was nearly eaten by them. And I saw them. Tiny "horrible" black and white creatures (smaller than the head of a pin). His back was literally covered with them within a second. Lucky him, he reacted not allergic and had no big problems afterwards except for the red marks. Well, my strong advice - if you suffer from these bites,- this might be an allergy! Go to a doctor from the very beginnning. He will help you at once and it is not expensive at all to see him (I paid approx. EUR 30,- medicine included!)
