Explore Bodrum Local Markets

OVERVIEW

Browse the traditional shops in a Bodrum bazaar and dozens of designer stores in an ultra-modern marina, an experience that will present both ends of the shopping spectrum. Winding your way through the bazaar's seemingly endless stalls will be a sensory experience like no other. You can expect to hear friendly haggling between the locals and vendors, smell the aromas of exotic spices wafting through the air and see an array of handmade goods ranging from Turkish carpets and kilims to brass camel bells and tasty desserts. The contrast between the bazaar and the stores in the Yalikavak Marina will be instantly obvious. Soon after opening on the Aegean Sea, the luxurious marina gained a reputation for its superyacht facilities and exquisite shopping. The mall there offers more than 100 shops and boutiques, a number than increases each year. The brand-name stores read like a Who's Who of designers, all offering the world's most luxurious merchandise.
