Yeah you can - But make sure the exchange rate they use is ok or else you might end up paying way over the odds for it....

Hi Nikki72
If you are buying at Dalaman on arrival you can buy as many as you want.
Just remember you can only bring 200 per person back.

Annabella,
wherever you decide to buy your ciggies/baccy, don't be tempted to buy the baccy in the various markets. Price is good, 7 packs Golden virginia for £10, but it is truly awful stuff.
I bought my GV at Manchester £55 for 20 packs, wifey bought her cigs at bodrum airport for £24 for 400 Lambert &butler.
I assume prices are same at dalaman.

Dont do what 2 girls did on Monday and think you can hide the fags in your suitcase.

they were stopped and the security at X ray at Dalaman made them open their cases. they had about 1,000 each in the cases.

there was a lot of cafuffle etc and opening and rescanning of cases and phone calls etc.

I think they got away with it somehow, but by god they looked scared we were wondering how many were taken off them, but it looked like they were allowed to keep them.

I'd be too scared its just not worth it.

Its strange they did not bother with us?

I have always been led to believe that what they look for in the suitcases is not so much the amount of fags you are taking out, but whether the fags you have hidden have been legally bought or have been bought on the black market - hence avoiding Turkish taxation. If the cigarettes you have bought in resort dont have the paper tax seal on them they illegal and they are the ones that are going to land you in hot water

I was under that impression too Suki, and certainly a few times they have commented on the amount in our suitcases - but fine with the knowledge that they were turkish cigs.

Its the UK customs that you need to worry about :oops:
