Wandering around a Bodrum Markets & Pazar

Each Bodrum Market delivers a different experience. Most of the local villages and towns on the Bodrum Peninsula hold a weekly market.

The smaller markets, in Akyarlar, Gümüşlük and Dereköy are primarily Farmers Markets selling local produce. Whereas the larger markets in Bodrum, Turgutreis, Yalikavak and Gündoğan, also sell textiles, clothes, housewares and souvenirs.  There’s also a second hand market held in Bitez every Sunday.

If you’re on a self-catering holiday, you should visit a Bodrum market to buy fresh local produce.  The selection and price is better than produce available in the supermarkets like Migros.

If you’re staying in an all-inclusive hotel, don’t miss out on a Bodrum Market experience. Check out this list of Market days, and venture there to buy snacks for a day at the beach.

If you’re asking the locals for directions to the Market – ask for the Pazar.
