Shopping
Bodrum, a former fishing village, has transformed itself into a sought-after resort destination. Its allure extends beyond the stunning remnants of its ancient past, offering retail therapy as a delightful counterbalance to the historical sightseeing. Upscale boutiques cluster around the luxurious marina, while shopping malls — a relatively new phenomenon in Turkey — are dotted around the city. However, it's the vibrant market scene that truly encapsulates the spirit of Bodrum shopping. 'Pazar', the open market, invites you to haggle over a treasure trove of goods. Whether it's flea markets, clothing stalls or fruit and vegetable vendors, Bodrum offers a rich tapestry of shopping experiences, earning its reputation as a consumer paradise.
