Does anybody know the duty free allowance of cigarettes and alcohol if your journey is from the girne new harbour port, if travelling to Antalya only. I know what it is from North to the uk but just travelling to turkey and thought it may be different.

many thanks

As Turkey is a non EU country when we travel from UK we can take as much as we want so I reckon the same would apply from NC to Turkey. Anyone know any different? We have been on flights from Ercan with a stop at Antalya and seen Turkish people with lots of duty free getting off at Antalya.

Try looking at one of the Turkish airport websites,I'm sure the allowances are the same for seabound entry.
