Duty Free Ferry Cruise Ports | İzmir - Alsancak Seaport Store

Turkey

İzmir - Alsancak Seaport Store

There is a duty free Seaport Shop at this location where you can buy goods for your cruise or ferry sailing. Some port stores have restrictions as to whether you can buy tax free goods on disembarkation or only on embarkation. This will depend on the local rules and also if your ship is travelling to an international destination.

In general, you will be allowed to buy on embarkation, if your destination is another Country and your cruise or ferry is travelling in international waters. This rule does not apply to those travelling within The EU, nor does it apply to those travelling domestically, within the same country. Some countries permit “arrivals duty free shopping”, in this case you will also be able to buy when you disembark your ship.

The Turkish travel company SETUR operate numerous duty free stores within the port areas where you can buy goods on departure and also on arrival. Your customs allowance limits will be similar to arriving by air and visitors should be staying in Turkey for at least 72 hours to qualify. Some special regulations may apply for small boats. Visitors travelling to or from other parts of Turkey will not be able to buy duty free goods.

Many Cruise and Ferry Port retailers are yet to publish their on-line duty free catalogues, prices and store locations. As soon as the online duty free pre-order information is available, we will update this page.
