If you're looking for some retail therapy, Bodrum has it all. The modern bazaar area is an upmarket take on an original Turkish market, with proper shops rather than stalls.
It offers less room for bargaining but what it loses in authenticity, it makes up for in choice. There's everything here, from gorgeous Turkish and Central Asian textiles and colorful local pottery to a bling-fest of gold shops and snazzy beachwear.
A lazy afternoon meandering between the shops after a morning of sunbathing is what Bodrum is all about
