Taking Duty Free INTO Turkey

Postby bilbo1161 » 24 Jun 2011 16:36

I've been asked by a friend if I will bring some duty free spirits into Turkey.
I was very suprised at this as I thought they would be cheaper at their wholesalers. That aside, how much duty free spirits can I take into Turkey and where would be the cheapest place to get them.
What sort of price would I be looking at for a 1litre bottle of Bacardi for example.

Thanks

About £16-18 in the duty free, in Turkey about £50

Would it be cheaper to buy it from a supermarket over here then and pack it in the suitcase?

How much can you take in? The same as you can bring out?

Bacardi was 2 for £20 at Cardiff last year. We took two bottles for the owner of the apartments we stay at. Eddie was chuffed. It was going to be a Huge saving for him.....even more so when we told him that they were a gift. :D

If there is a limit to the amount of alcohol bought in Dalaman per passport would I be able to use my sons passport even though he will only be 14 when we come? Does it matter what age the passport holder is?
