Advice needed Atlantic and Caribbean charts

[robert sailor]

Hi There,
We are leaving Turkey this coming summer and heading for the Caribbean. We are in Kusadasi and there is little to choose from in charts etc. Where is a good spot to stop on the way and get charts for the Atlantic/Canaries and the Caribbean??

We found that big ships have to carry very up to date charts and chuck the old ones away when they are only months old. A tanker captain gave us all the charts we needed for free, try chatting to a ships officer. Otherwise I would use my chart plotter and have a single North Atlantic paper chart and then pilot books for the areas I'm visiting.
