Market Days on the Peninsula
There are the following market days for towns and villages on the Bodrum Peninsular:
Mondays Guvercinlik
Tuesdays Bodrum (fabrics and clothing)
Wednesdays Gumusluk and Ortakent
Thursdays Yalikavak and Bodrum (food)
Fridays Bodrum (food) and Bitez
Saturdays Turgutreis (food and clothing)
Sundays Mumcular and Gumbet (+ flea market in Bitez on 1st Sunday in each month)
Tips:
- Bargain ( in a friendly way)
- Foreign currency particularly Euros and Pounds are greatly sought after ( The Turkish Lira has a bit of a potential inflation problem)
- The ‘ genuine imitation’ branded T shirt might not last too long and / or shrink ( buy a larger size)
- Look around at a few stalls before buying to get an idea of prices
- Some leather wallets are not real leather ( take a good smell or maybe a match to them)
