After that, head into the really big bazaar for a chance to practice your bargaining skills. Shop for all kinds of souvenirs, folk art, crafts, and clothing. Soak up the incredible lively atmosphere and enjoy the aromas of the spices and local produce. Many stallholders accept euros and almost everyone speaks Greek or English.

What people are saying about Muğla Province

The transfer from the hotel and the crossing were very good. Passport control on the outward and return journey took about 30 minutes. The sea was a bit rough and one or the other got wet but that was ok too. Bodrum has very many shops with articles from AZ. The bazaar that takes place every Tuesday is highly recommended

Absolutely great day don’t miss out worth a day across to turkey and the staff are amazing and couldn’t be more helpful and entertaining

Great contact with the office. Great crew on board. everything perfectly organized. I recommend. 5 hours in Bodrum is enough.

Very nice trip with nice ship staff! Bodrum is worth seeing and visiting the castle at the harbor was also worthwhile!

Cheap efficient, on time but was a longer journey than expected.
