I take antihistamine for a couple of weeks before I travel. Burn citronella candles outside the accommodation. Plug ins in every room. Cream from local pharmacy.

I always get bitten and they usually go dodgy!
what I now do wherever we go on holiday is visit a pharmacy the first day and get whatever repellent they suggest and their bite cream. Worked a treat when we went to Sorrento a couple of weeks ago and in Thailand last year.

Deet.
Woo things like bracelets, eating marmite etc just don't work for people who are very attractive to mosquitoes.
