If any one is going greek side at any time would you kindly look out for coconut oil and get some for me. I need it for cooking not suntanning! Thank in advance.

Tempo catalkoy had it in the ethnic food section when I was in the other day,as I was looking for mustard oil which they used to stock but didn't have.

I was in there today and didnt see any thats where I used to get it I could only see palm oil. I will try again. Thank you.

Deniz- bottom shelf on the right in the ethnic food section (As I recall) next to coconut powder,and tinned coconut milk.
It's not in the 'Oil section' as logic suggests it should be.

Ok I will post if successful.

I have been to all three Tempo stores today and no coconut oil not even a space where it was with a price ticket. Oh well I have given up just hope some one will help me out on the greek side if they see any.

I am going south on Thursday so will try and get you some then if you still need it

Oh YES PLEASE !!!

Will do my best.
Hopefully be in touch Thursday evening, will let you know either way

They sell coocnut oil at the Emin pharmacy opposite Mardo's in Alsancak.

THanks Panchocat and fatouche. My local pharmacy sells it too but its 98tl for a small amount which is ridiculous. The last time I bought a bottle it was about 5 ytl.

Tempo in Kajagoogoo have it on the shelves above the freezers left hand side by other coconut products.

Emin pharmacy....20TL for 500ml.

Thank you very much all .I was in that Tempo last week but didnt look above the freezers. Looks like a trip if my friend doesnt find it greek side tomorrow.

No luck I am afraid. Walnut oil was the only nutty one I could find. Sorry

Thank you for trying for me looks like another trip to Alsancak.

Deniz- I was In Tempo catalkoy today,and what I told you was Coconut oil was In fact palm oil.
Sorry about that!-had the wrong glasses on.
Does the coconut blocks that they sell not make coconut oil when it's melted?

No not really thanks any way.

Hooray I now have coconut oil thanks to fatouche I went to Emins pharmacy and found it there. Thanks to every one who tried to help me.

Deniz- I know you got sorted out a while back,but Tempo In Catalkoy had 4 jars of coconut oil in day before yesterday(I had 'seeing' glasses on this time!).
It was in the 'ethnic' section,bottom shelf on the right,next to palm oil.
I thought you might want to stock up,as you have had problems buying it before.

Thank you Philoz I bought some there and my friends brought some from england so I am well stocked up now.

well.... I've just been reading how rubbing coconut oil, squashed banana and pineapple juice can reduce wrinkles !!!!!!!!!!
looks like they may have a mad rush on it.

It is very versatile stuff. I use it on my skin and I am doing pretty well on it or so I am told!

I use it too; I cook with it, and use it on my skin and hair. If you want to see how versatile it is, google 101 ways to use coconut oil.

Me too Fatouche. It is supposed to lower cholesterol too.
