TL;DR
According to participants, IQOS heets are not sold officially in Antalya — from July to September 2026 the consistent advice was to ask in person at tobacco shops in tourist areas. The main warning: scammers start messaging anyone who asks about heets, so never send them a prepayment.
In September 2026 one participant reminded others that not knowing local laws is no excuse and mentioned news reports of tourists being detained in Turkey. It is worth checking the current tobacco and smoking rules in advance.
The same answer kept coming in late August and September 2026: there is no official sale, and the only way is to ask in person at tobacco shops in tourist districts rather than through contacts found online.
In August 2026 one participant suggested where to ask first: the Liman and Hurma districts, which have many Russian-speaking residents. Prices there, they warned, will be high.
In August 2026 participants also warned about "recommendations": if someone privately points you to a specific seller, that is also a scam. They advise saving screenshots of such chats and never sending money.
In late July and early August 2026 participants wrote that IQOS heets cannot be bought officially anywhere in Antalya. The only advice was to walk around tobacco shops in tourist areas and ask the sellers yourself.
Almost every reply from July to September 2026 carries the same warning: anyone looking for heets will get private messages offering to sell them. Do not send a prepayment — participants say the money simply disappears.
