A Guide to Medical Services in Bodrum for Tourists
Emergency numbers, pharmacies, clinics, online doctors and tests: what medical services in Bodrum look like for visitors.
Whether you are staying around the centre and marina, Gumbet, Bitez, Turgutreis and Yalikavak, it helps to know which medical services are available before you need them. Here is a simple overview for visitors to Bodrum.
Emergency Care
The emergency number is 112, not 999, 000, 111 or 911. Ambulances and hospital emergency departments handle serious injuries and sudden illness.
Hospitals and Clinics
Walk-in doctor clinics and hospital outpatient departments are easy to find in Bodrum, and many have English-speaking staff. Fees and waiting times vary, so ask about the cost first and keep your invoice for your insurer.
Pharmacies
Look for the red E sign. Pharmacists can advise on minor problems, and the on-duty pharmacy (nobetci eczane) stays open at night and on Sundays.
English-Speaking Doctor and E-Prescription
An English-speaking doctor is available 24/7 by video anywhere in Bodrum, so there is no language barrier. The e-prescription can be used at a local pharmacy.
Hotel and Home Visits
In selected areas a doctor can visit your hotel, villa or apartment. Message us on WhatsApp to check your location.
Labs and Imaging
Blood and other samples can be taken where you are and tested in a laboratory, and X-ray or other imaging can be arranged when your doctor advises a scan.
Specialists and Refills
Appointments with a paediatrician, internal medicine doctor or gynaecologist can be arranged, and routine prescriptions can be renewed if you lose or run out of your medicine.
What Visitors to Bodrum Usually Need Help with
Doctors in Bodrum often see problems linked to sun, sea, late nights and alcohol-related dehydration. Carry water, sunscreen and rehydration sachets, and keep your travel insurance details to hand.
Shopping in Bodrum
The Bodrum bazaar is known for handmade leather sandals, linen clothing, ceramics, jewellery and sponges, while Yalikavak Marina has designer boutiques. Prices in the bazaar are often negotiable.
Things to Do in Bodrum and How to Stay Healthy
Gulet and boat trips around the bays. Sun, wind and sea air dry you out quickly, so use sunscreen, drink water and take seasickness tablets in advance if you are prone to it.
Windsurfing and kitesurfing at Bitez and nearby bays. Learn with an instructor, wear a rash vest or wetsuit and protect your ears and eyes.
Diving and snorkelling. Leave the recommended time between your last dive and a flight, usually at least 12 to 24 hours, and tell a doctor about ear pain or dizziness after a dive.
