We will be doing a Mediterranean Cruise in May and will be visiting Turkey for one day, arriving and leaving by ship (we fly into Athens to board a few days earlier and I have already found out what I need to do regarding Greek Customs and my medication). I will be travelling with a number of prescription medications some of which are restricted in Turkey, but none of these meds will be leaving the ship, baring one dose of co-codamol which I will need to take during the day while on land. Information online tells me that I will need to obtain prior permission from Turkish authorities to travel with any of my medications and that I need to contact the Turkish embassy. I have tried to do this but am always directed to a standard FAQ answer which refers to medications arriving via Turkish customs, which we will not be doing. I don't seem to be able get past this barrier at the embassy to find out what, if anything I actually need to do. So am wondering if anyone here has experience of this specific situation and knows what I might actually need to do, if anything?
