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)
