In almost all cities, there are duty-free zones that are popular with tourists. Especially in such places it is convenient to buy gifts for your friends and relatives. Nevertheless, the prices here are not always lower than in other stores. Sometimes it happens, and vice versa. All tourists who come to rest in Antalya can also visit free trade shops - duty-free Antalya is located right at the airport.
True, it should be noted that upon arrival in this country you can visit a very small free trade store, which sells only alcoholic products of famous brands, tobacco products and confectionery. Antalya duty free at departure is a completely different matter. Here you will find a wide range of accessories, souvenirs, clothes, cosmetics and perfumes of famous brands and at an affordable cost.
Benefits of shopping at duty free stores
In such areas it is very convenient to shop, and not only because of the reduced cost of many products. The products in these stores are branded, and new products can be found even before they arrive in stores in the country. And some goods you can buy only in duty-free Antalya.
Therefore, before planning purchases, it is worthwhile to familiarize yourself with the basic prices and assortment in advance. For example, you can ask your friends who have recently visited this country.
What can be purchased in the free trade zone
There are two duty-free zones at Antalya Airport : upon arrival and departure. In the second, if you believe the tourists, lower duty-free prices. Antalya is a well-known resort, and you need to take into account that the transfer from popular hotels is organized in such a way that there is not much time left before departure so that you can inspect the entire range of products presented and compare the difference in the cost of goods.
For this reason, gifts and souvenirs should be taken care of in advance, in the process of exploring Antalya. Moreover, some goods in the country's stores are cheaper than in duty-free Antalya.
And if anything you can buy in duty free areas, it’s chocolate and perfumery. It is likely that prices for cosmetics and perfumes will be a little more expensive, but at the same time the products will be better than in the country's stores. And the assortment of chocolate products here is simply striking in its vastness. Many sweet-tooths about duty free (Antalya) leave reviews as a source of a unique holiday of taste.
Goods allowed for export and their allowable quantity
Another popular item often brought from Antalya is expensive alcohol. In Russia, as many people know, you can also buy such alcoholic beverages. But basically, the high cost of alcohol does not match its quality at all. Therefore, visiting Turkey, it is worth buying a variety of strong drinks: liquors, whiskey, etc. as a gift or for yourself. But on the plane you can take a limited amount of alcohol. If the strength of the drink is not more than 22 degrees, then a maximum of six liters is allowed to be carried on board, and if more, then no more than three liters can be purchased.
There are restrictions on the transportation of other products. For example, chocolate is allowed to be transported no more than six kilograms, cigarettes - up to 9 blocks, cigars - a maximum of 150 pieces, and tobacco for pipes - 750 grams, no more.
