    Good for you, personally I'm not risking my money, job, firearms permit nor any other consequences. Seen the look on a guys face before watching customs take away all the ones he bought on the flight on the way over to Cyprus. (edited)

    Oct 2019 brought back a friend 200 L&B think they where £20 in resort. Only allowed 200 back with you each. Currently smoking is banned in all outdoor places in Turkey (except your "home"), came into force as part of covid regulations. Face masks mandatory outside and inside also. (edited)

    Ohh lovely. Wish I had longer than a week myself, was first time in Side, normally go to Marmaris (attempted 6 times lol). About to book for end of April next year again for 11 nights. We had first flight out of N.Ireland after our restrictions had been lifted for Turkey. We only needed a day 2 PCR as vaccinated. (edited)

    Pic from Antalya Duty Free. If you worried abut authenticity buy from the like of MM Migros, A.101, SOK or BiM supermarket chains.

    Video below also if you need to compare in resort to Duty Free. I don't smoke anymore, so no idea price wise. But can say the duty free is really expensive for everything else, most fragrances where alot cheaper at home online and the prices of gifts/sweets where stupid money. Also paid 140 Lira for 2x 500ml Coke Zero lol. (Just home myself in the early hours this morning)

    there are really cheap ones that are the locals smoke, cant remember the name but I tried them and they were way way too mild for me. At the time I was a Marlboro smoker and someone recommended Tekel 2000, I liked them but they were really strong. I bought thousands of them. £3 for a 200 pack !

    However, that was 30 years ago. I loved the fact that they had ashtrays attached to things on the streets. Havent been back since 1994 so I dont know whats what today.

    Well they did. I've not seen anything to suggest they have lifted it yet, as masks are still compulsory everywhere.

    I’m here now and paid 86 euros for 600 lambert and butler at the duty free on the way out of Antalya airport. One of the local supermarkets selling 200 for 25 euros. Not sure if fakes . Smoking has not been banned outdoors. We’re in Side.
