There are lots of alternative clubs and bars offering everything from salsa, rock, traditional Turkish music, as well as live entertainment.
Turkish restaurants and cafes offer a great choice of food, including mezes, kebabs, pizza, chicken, pasta, salads and a selection of freshly caught fish. A traditional Turkish pastime after a night of partying is to chill out and enjoy soup in a café while watching the sunrise.
If you enjoy shopping, then you might like to experience the hustle & bustle of the weekly bazaars which are located above the shops in the bus station in Bodrum.
If it's clothes, linen or beautiful fabrics that interest you, then it’s well worth visiting the bazaar on a Tuesday.
On Thursday & Friday, the bazaar sells some clothing, but is predominately filled with spices, cheese, nuts, olives and fruit and vegetables grown locally.
There is plenty of choice and you will have a chance to use your bartering skills, but remember the traders have to make a living !!
For pure relaxation why not take a trip to the Turkish Baths (hamam), where you will be pampered from head to toe. There is a male and female hamam in Bodrum, opposite the bus station ( Otobus Terminali )
