2 Best Places to Shop in The Bodrum Peninsula, The Central and Southern Aegean Coast

Established in Turgutreis in 2013, this charming small shop is now beside the Gümüşlük jetty and Myndos Art House selling handicrafts and other homemade wares by the 18 members of a local women’s cooperative: beautiful hand-woven textiles, wood decorations, stained-glass artworks, jams, jewelry, and more. As a co-operative, hours are subject to members' availability, but they try to remain open as much as possible.

A small shopfront with towels and shawls out front disguises a veritable bower of authentic treasures inside: textiles, one-off designed clothes using silks and cotton in Ottoman-influenced styles, hanging colored lights, china tea cups, gemstones set in silver jewelry, and brass ornaments. The owner, Hatice, is happy to let you explore the shop, and to explain items.
