Icmeler Online Holiday Forum & Reviews - Turkey

silly question time but,

What's the toiletries like in here ?
trying to save the weight in the cases, are we better buying it over there ?

is it all turkish brands or can you get what we get here ?

prices, i would imagine for the imports will be expensive so do you know cheaper alternatives ?

just the likes of shampoo , shower gel , sun tan lotion etc.

5wks on thursday

Cheapest way is to buy it from boots or superdrug in the departure lounge at the airport after you have checked your cases in!

100ml is the limit though is it not ?

3 of us for a fortnight, would need several

Not when you are through departures ... this is a great idea.

Definately get sun lotion here as its quite expensive in Icmeler. Shampoo and Conditioner isn't that bad cost wise. Or do as previously suggested buy it all at the airport, 100ml restriction only applies before going through security so once your through you can buy whatever you need.

Always buy mine after I've gone through security at the airport, always found them more expensive in Icmeler

thanks for the reply's , i'm flying from prestwick which would be lucky to have a pasting table with goodies sitting on it

will just spread it out over the 3 cases if i can get rid of a few pairs of the wifes shoes

I buy shampoo, conditioner, shower gel and soap out there at the Tansas - on the grounds that they'll be the most suitable for the local water. I live in a soft water area and my stuff doesn't always work well abroad. Tansas often do deals on this stuff - last time I got a big shower gel with a free shampoo (or vice versa - it was last year. LOL)

Last couple of years i have purchased all my toiletries over there apart from sun lotion & toothpaste lol to save me humphing them,we have a wee boy who doesn't get any luggage allowance so buying toiletries over there frees up some space for us.
Roll on next year when the Wee one gets his own allowance and seat on the plane!!

Im just back from holiday. Bought toothpaste and shower gel in the Tansas in Marmaris and used my money saving card(1 lira from shop)was the same price as at home. £1 for aloe vera/yoghurt shower gel (large bottle) and about 75p for a smallish tube of colgate. Enjoy your holiday.

This is a great idea,i'm definately gonna buy most of my toiletries either at the airport or in icmeler.......
Can anyone tell me how far the tansas is from the alvaro appartments please?

about 8 mins but could take longer ifyou stop off for a cheeky effes

Tansas from the Alvaro is about 5 mins. Trust me I've done it many times . Especially when I've just come back from there

Thank you both,

In Icmeler now, does anyone know what time the Tansas closes?

Last year Tansas was open from 09:00 untill 00:00( midnight)

Tansas Supermarket is not shown on The Around Icmeler Map..could someone who knows how please add it as I am sure this would be of help to a lot of New Members

Tansas is actually marked on the map - the location of it and various other supermarkets/mini-markets are designated by little shopping basket icons on the map, but for some reason, they're not named in the list itself on the left hand side.
