Noted. Thank you so much! :heart:

How much does it cost today? I can´t open the PTT website, it seems offline or I am blocked to open it from abroad.
I´d like to order stamps before my trip because I´ll be in a small town only.

30 tl for each card.

Hi

I have never sent to or received cards from Turkey but I really want to. Would someone be interested in swapping?

If this is not the right place for this request, kindly point me to the right thread.

Thanks

Dear friends! :slight_smile: I would like to receive serial FOTW and MOTW postcards from your country. Maybe one of you could help me? I will be looking forward to our exchange :slight_smile: :heart:

Does anyone know the current price for sending postcards from Turkiye? I am visiting there and unfortunately can’t acces their website, from some reason it doesn’t let me on?

Hello! All countries require 30 TL worth of stamps. The postcard sending fee has changed quite often in the last few years, affecting each year’s new stamps’ value. So, the one you have in the picture wouldn’t be sufficient unfortunately, it was sufficient for 2020, but not anymore… You should get some more stamps and mix-and-match :slight_smile:

There are some recent 20 TL-worth stamps that you can match with 10 TL-worth stamps. You can see some examples in the pictures below. You can further look at what kind of stamps there are in the following link: https://filateli.gov.tr/

Have a great trip to Antalya! :sunny:

Hello,
I am having a cruise on the Mediterranean Sea and visiting several ports in late July/early August this year. One of the ports is located in Turkey. I have a chance to buy stamps beforehand, but I could not find their values.

How much does it cost to send a postcard to Europe from Turkey in liras? How about sending a postcard to other countries?

Thank You!

Please look to that Wiki :arrow_right: Prices of stamps for postcards in all countries/territories (wiki)

Domestic is 15 turkish lira.
Enjoy your time in Türkiye

Any reccomendations for finding stamps in Turkey :tr: during my upcoming holiday ?
Last year I wasted a lot of time visiting closed post offices in France despite the Internet declared opening times…

We are fortunate to have many active Postcrossers in Turkey who can probably help answer this, I would recommend asking here- In English — Visitor’s Corner

Hi, I was in Turkey a few months ago, you can only buy stamps directly on the post offices and the rates changes according the country you’re sending to so it can be expensive ! Hope you can enjoy anyway :slight_smile:

Edit : If this could help, there is a little desk between Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia (Istanbul) where they sell international stamps and it’s cheaper than the post office (same price for any country) BUT they’re often out of stamps at some point (like if you’re going late in the day) so better try in the morning.

Hello!

I live in Turkey for several months of the year, but I speak Turkish very poorly. I want to send postcards and letters from Turkey with real stamps, not with printed marks (meter stamps). In Turkey I live in Trabzon, there are either few stamps on the PTT, or even none at all. Post officers offer me to pay and to get meter stamps printed to my mail.

Is it possible to buy stamps online from PTT and have them delivered to an address in Turkey? If so, I could order (in advance) 1000 TL worth of stamps and then affix them to my mail by myself just before mailing. I have a Turkish bank card, I have already purchased various products online, the purchase and delivery process does not cause problems.

Is there a service for purchasing postage stamps online?

@AntonioK You can buy stamps from https://filateli.gov.tr/login. This is the official stamp/philately website of PTT. There is a large variety of stamps. The only problem with it is that they sometimes can be late in preparing your order. I have waited for 2 week at most.

See also my reply above for further information: In English — Visitor’s Corner - #51

Hope this helps :slight_smile:
