This is not an healthy living post

Are cigarettes the same as in turkey the same price in all shops?

Is alcohol the same price or are here cheaper places to go than supermarkets

Cigarettes,alcohol and petrol are all cheaper in TRNC.Also cigarettes and alcohol are around 1/3 cheaper at TRNC ports then inland.Cigarette prices in the shops are standart,alcohol prices may be little different.

Günaydın Yorgozlu,

When I first read Julia's post, I also thought she was asking as to how the price of alcohol and cigarettes here compared to that on the mainland. Indeed I was going to provide a link to ... http://www.hurriyetdailynews.com/n.php?n=turksih-cyprus-22.7-pct-more-expensive-than-turkey-2010-08-13

However, I think she is asking if there are outlets in KKTC where alcohol and cigarettes can be purchased more cheaply than that found in the supermarkets. Ama yanlış olabilirim

We live in turkey it is more expensive were we live near fethiye than trnc

I.e. gas bottle 55tl

Fuel over 3tl

We are moving trnc in a couple of weeks so I wanted to know is there better places to shop we have only gone to supermarkets

Hı Yorgozlu ... You did in fact answer Julia's original question when you wrote "Cigarette prices in the shops are standard, alcohol prices may be little different" - sorry about that gardacığım !

Best buy, at the airport on arrival.

Cigarettes are certainly cheaper at the airport BUT alcohol can vary and we have found on many occasions that it is cheaper in the supermarkets. By comparison to Turkey both are much cheaper in the TRNC, AND you can buy alcohol in supermarkets instead of having to find an off licence.
