Experience a piece of Turkish culture that dates back to ancient times. The lively bazaars are an integral part of the culture and should not be missed. The Bodrum Bazaar is nestled in Old Town among the whitewashed buildings and narrow lanes. It is one of the most beautiful markets you can visit in Bodrum. There is something for everyone, from trinkets and souvenirs to food, clothing, handmade leather goods, spices, and household goods. Everyone is sure to find something they will want to bring home.  

Walking Around Bodrum  

The Bodrum Bazaar is located in Old Town. This is the historic part of town. Wander around the traditional whitewashed buildings and narrow alleys paved with stones. You will get a real sense of what this town was like as a traditional fishing village. It is like another world compared to the luxury resorts and modern shopping centers. Bougainvillea drapes over and around the building entryways and over the alleys. Little cafe tables and chairs sit outside homes and cafes. The Mediterranean ambiance is charming.

Navigating the Market  

As expected with bazaars, this one can get very crowded at its busiest times. This particularly happens when a cruise ship has docked, and the passengers disembark for their day in Bodrum. However, this isn’t necessarily a bad thing. The energetic and lively atmosphere ignites the market with a sense of excitement.  

When the bazaar is hopping, you’ll hear stallholders banter with each other and shoppers. Their witty comments and comebacks will bring a smile to your face. You can listen to the stall holders haggle with shoppers. Hopefully, you can pick up a trick or two for when you find something you want to buy. Negotiating is a part of the culture, so don’t be afraid to jump in and give it a try.  

Most of the market is covered, so this is a great place to seek relief when the sun and heat get to be too much.  

Tuesday Market  

On Tuesdays, the Bodrum Bazaar is overflowing with textiles. This is when you can find discount clothing, bedding, towels, and other household textiles. You can also find several stalls with cotton and locally made fabrics that you cannot find anywhere else.  

Friday Market  

The Friday Bodrum Bazaar is a little different, as it is produce day. While there is produce available daily at the market, it is abundant on Fridays. This is when the local farmers come to sell fresh fruits and vegetables. As a traveler, you can try unique foods you may not get at home. 

Tasting the Local Cuisine  

Fresh produce isn’t your only opportunity to eat at the Bodrum Bazaar. You will find several cafes and food stalls that serve a range of Turkish delicacies. Get to the market early, and you can try cheese, olives, coffee, tea, and olives.  

Spices are also a much-loved commodity at the Bodrum Bazaar. You will see stalls that are stuffed to the brim with the most colorful spices you will ever see. The displays will delight you as you experience spice flavors with all of your senses.  

How to Visit  

To visit the Bodrum Bazaar, head towards the Dolmus Station. You will see a huge entrance next door with a sign saying “Bodrum Belediyesi” overhead. This is the bazaar entrance. If you are struggling to find it, don’t ask the locals where the market is. They will direct you to a supermarket. Instead, ask them where the bazaar or Pazar is. This will get you to the open-air market.
