Don't buy them in the Turkish Resort as they will be fakes, however on arrivals in Dalaman there is DF and Sulkcut were £12 per carton and were OK.

Defently dont buy them in the resorts as these fake fags carry alot of metal in them as was pointed out on watch dog last year these are very dangerous even if they are cheap
the airport duty free shop that was on arrivals in the old terminal was always well stocked but not sure of the layout yet on the new terminal
the local turkish ciggi's are ok as long as they have the goverment seal on them hope this is helpfull

Hi

If you are in Icmeler or Marmaris you can get the hydrofoil over to Rhodes and buy as many ciggies as you want over there. Make sure you keep the receipt to prove to UK customs that you bought them in an EU Country (Greece)

I would be very careful with that last statement.

Turkish customs on return to Marmaris may well confiscate you smokes as you are allowed to bring only 200 smokes in the same as you are allowed to take back to the UK.

Agree with John there - That would not stand up against UK or Turkish customs :smokin

Nala where did you get this info from? Me thinks some greek cig seller has been telling you porkies :)

And be done for smuggling :)
English cigs on sale in resort have come into the country the same way and the Turkish gvt dont take too kindly to smuggling. Not only can they confiscate them you can be fined huge amounts, get kept in the country untill you pay off the fine, lose your flight home as your holiday company will have washed their hands and then suffer the indignity of being deported.

Not really worth it for 200 fags

The chap at duty free told me I could take 1000 ciggies through. I actually took 600. Whoops!

Hi All,

Was just wondering what the allowances were for things such as ciggarettes, alcohol etc. I did ask this a few days ago but can find the thread. We went to turkey last year and i think the allowance was 400 ciggs each not sure about alcohol. Is it still the same?? Any help appreciated, we leave on friday

Marmaris here we come :pele :sun :pele :sun
