How to Send Flowers to Turkey from Abroad
You can send flowers to Turkey from abroad by ordering online from another country, paying in USD with an international card or PayPal, and letting a local florist hand-deliver to any address in Turkey. Delivery is next day, Monday to Saturday, for orders placed before midnight Turkey time. Bouquets start at USD 63.24 plus a flat USD 14.95 delivery fee.
Can you send flowers to Turkey from the USA and other countries?
Yes. Orders are accepted from any country, so a sender in the US, UK, Canada, Spain or elsewhere follows the same steps. You do not need a Turkish bank account, a Turkish phone number or anyone on the ground to place the order.
The service covers all of Turkey, including Istanbul, Ankara, Izmir, Bursa and Antalya, plus many smaller cities. If your recipient lives in Istanbul, the same checkout works as it does for a town on the Aegean coast.
How does ordering from abroad work, step by step?
- Go to flowershopsturkey.com and browse the flowers category. The catalog has 152 bouquets, arrangements and plants.
- Choose a product and enter the recipient's city. Delivery is available to any address in Turkey.
- Write your message. Every order includes a free printed card.
- Add optional extras if you want them: a box of chocolates, glass vase, plush teddy bear, greeting card, balloons or wine bottle.
- Pay in USD with Visa, Mastercard or American Express through Stripe, or with PayPal. Your card issuer may add its own foreign transaction fee.
- A local florist prepares and delivers the order. You can write a preferred time in the delivery instructions.
How long does delivery take, and when should you order?
Delivery is next day across Turkey for orders placed before midnight Turkey time. Turkey does not change its clocks, so it is usually 7 to 8 hours ahead of US Eastern time and 2 to 3 hours ahead of London. An order placed at 4 pm New York time is often still in time for next-day delivery, but check the clock in Turkey before you pay.
There are no same-day deliveries, no Sunday deliveries and no deliveries on main public holidays. Exact time slots are not guaranteed, so treat a preferred time as a request.
For special dates, order two to three days ahead. These are the upcoming dates to plan around:
| Occasion | Date | Order by | Cheapest total (bouquet plus delivery) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Christmas | Friday, December 25, 2026 | Wednesday, December 23, 2026 | USD 78.19 |
| Valentine's Day (Sevgililer Günü) | Sunday, February 14, 2027 | Wednesday, February 10, 2027 | USD 78.19 |
| Mother's Day (Anneler Günü) | Sunday, May 9, 2027 | Wednesday, May 5, 2027 | USD 78.19 |
Valentine's Day and Mother's Day fall on Sundays in 2027, so the flowers will need to arrive on the Saturday before.

Which flowers are appropriate in Turkey, and which should you avoid?
Red roses are the classic choice for romance and love. A dozen True Romance roses is a clear message for a partner or spouse.
For birthdays, get well wishes or a simple thank-you, bright mixed bouquets work well. Tulips have a special place in Turkish culture, so a mixed tulip arrangement suits many occasions.
Avoid sending white lilies or white chrysanthemums for celebrations. In Turkey, white flowers are usually associated with funerals and condolences. If the occasion is a loss, the sympathy category is the right place to look.
Many people in Turkey also prefer odd-numbered bouquets for happy occasions and even-numbered ones for condolences. If your recipient is a traditional family member, choosing an odd number of stems or a design with an odd count is a considerate touch.
What details do you need from the recipient?
Ask the recipient for these details before you order:
- Full name, as it should appear on the delivery
- Full street address, including the building name or number, apartment number, neighborhood (mahalle) and district (ilçe)
- City
- A phone number with the country code (+90), which the florist uses to coordinate the delivery
- Their preferred delivery time, if they have one
It also helps to confirm that the recipient will be home on the delivery day, since a missed delivery can mean the flowers arrive a day late.
To place your order, visit flowershopsturkey.com, choose a bouquet from the flowers category, enter the recipient's details and write your card message. Order at least two to three days ahead for holidays and special dates, and aim for Monday to Friday so the delivery lands on a Tuesday to Saturday.
Frequently asked questions
Is there a time difference I need to plan around when ordering?
Yes. Turkey is usually 7 to 8 hours ahead of US Eastern time and 2 to 3 hours ahead of London. Orders must be placed before midnight Turkey time to qualify for next-day delivery, so check the local time before you pay.
Can I send flowers to someone in Turkey on a Sunday?
Not for delivery on Sunday. The service does not deliver on Sundays or on main public holidays, so order by Saturday for a Monday delivery, or ahead of the holiday. For Sunday occasions like Mother's Day, plan for a Saturday delivery instead.
Can I send a cake or chocolates to Turkey from abroad?
Cakes and food hampers are not sold. Chocolates are available only as an add-on with a flower order, so you can add a box of chocolates to a bouquet but not order them on their own.
Will my card be charged in dollars or in lira?
Your card is charged in USD. EUR and GBP amounts are displayed for reference, and your bank may apply its own exchange rate and foreign transaction fee when it converts the charge to your home currency.
