D&R sits near the main departures area at ADB
D&R is the big book and media shop in both Domestic and International departures at Adnan Menderes Airport, so you’ll probably walk past one of their storefronts on the way to your gate. Stock skews toward Turkish-language titles, but there’s usually a shelf or two of English paperbacks and travel guides. Think airport pricing: a standard paperback often runs 250–400 TRY, and imported magazines can hit higher. If you forgot a charger, headphones, or a basic phone cable, they generally have them behind the counter.
Hours roughly mirror flight banks, with doors open from early morning departures around 05:00 through the last evening flights after 22:00 in both terminals. You’ll find more English books and international magazines in the International terminal branch, while the Domestic side leans heavier on local bestsellers and kids’ activity books. Expect standard airport markups of about 20–40% versus downtown İzmir, especially on branded stationery and electronics accessories.
Stock is broad but shallow, so newer bestsellers and Turkish titles get priority, and older series or niche genres can be missing entirely. Kids’ books and coloring pads are well represented, and there’s usually a spinner of under-100 TRY small toys and puzzles that work for short-haul flights. Stationery runs from basic pens and notebooks to giftable sets hovering around 300–500 TRY. If you want something specific, ask staff to check the other terminal location; they sometimes radio across.
Practical tip: if you care about price, check book covers for the printed list price in TRY and compare it to the D&R sticker before heading to the register; occasionally the airport sticker runs higher than the publisher’s own number.
