   This is just a little warning especially for first time visitors to Turkey.
   
   Turkey is reknowned as a "Shoppers Paradise" but be careful as the airports are extremely strict about the weight of your case on your departure.
   
   I have seen people charged anything up to 250 euro for excess baggage in both Izmir and Dalayman airports. I saw two women charged 120 euro each in May this year. Of course you can try the old trick of putting on as many layers as you can possibly wear but it's not practical or comfortable! If you cannot pay then they will not carry your luggage.
   
   Many peole are not aware of this and are really caught out, and it can really put a damper on the end of your holiday
   
   So just so you all know.............happy shopping just be careful.

   It is the same everywhere.
   
   I was traveling to england from New York, and I was bringing gifts.
   I had to pay also.
   
   It is not Turkey, it is the new airline policies.
   
   I am going to keep shopping, especially in Turkey
