Factors Influencing Mosquito Activity on Čiovo

Mosquito activity on Čiovo Island is influenced by several environmental factors. Warm temperatures and humidity create ideal breeding grounds, especially near stagnant water around the island's coves and olive groves. Additionally, the island's proximity to the Adriatic Sea means occasional sea breezes, which can reduce mosquito presence in coastal areas but allow them to thrive inland. Here are key factors that affect mosquito populations:

Temperature above 20°C
Presence of standing water
Vegetation density

Understanding these helps visitors plan outdoor activities, especially near landmarks like the Church of St. Peter. For more on local ecology, visit Nature Park Čiovo.
