once you are through to baggage collection there are some duty free shops and there doesn't appear to be a limit on what you can buy from my experience.
Better to keep your mouth shut and appear stupid than to open it and remove all doubt :)

You do have to show your passport at the till but as far as I can remember, I've never seen any notice about limits per passenger.

We always buy a bottle or two at Dalaman to keep in the apartment.  Last year we bought a litre of Disaronno for about a tenner which is loads cheaper than at Manchester Airport (and even more cheap than in Kalkan!).  They have quite good promotions on litre bottles of spirits so we usually get a bargain.

Probably best to buy at UK duty free and a top up if required in Dalaman duty free.  Seems there's always an offer on in UK dutyfree - 2 litres for 15/16 pounds.  Offer  Each litre is usually around 11/12 euros in Dalaman.  The offer usually includes Smirnoff, Bacardi, gin, rum and one or two whiskies.  Don't forget you can buy on the plane also and I've got some great offers there too.  Enjoy!

Will top up at UK airport more than like, then see what prices are like at Dalaman. Its just that we haven't found a local wine to our liking, and the spirits a little dear. Now if they had Schhh you know who blackcurrant in Kalkan I'd be a happy man!  :o :o :o

Came out to France thru Gatport Airwick on Friday. 2x 37.5% spirits £18 (inc Gordons & Smirnoff Red etc.).  2x stronger spirits 50% (Smirnoff Blue & etc.) £22. 3 litre box Hardy's wine £20.99, (up £1 on last year and sauvignon blanc not very nice).
We usually buy Raki at Dalaman as we enter as it is about third to half the price of whats on sale in Kalkan.
There - over there, there are.            To - Going to
Their - belongs to them.                     Too - In addition, Also
They're - Short for they are.

Pedant! me?

The limit used to be two bottles of spirits each but last October it had been reduced to one bottle each. Prices are much the same as UK but less choice.
