Pharmacies on Duty in Bodrum Today – September 5, 2026

On-Duty Pharmacies in Bodrum – September 5, 2026

Turkish pharmacies rotate night and weekend duty so that at least one chemist stays open in every area, even after regular shops close. This system, called nöbetçi eczane, is coordinated locally by the Muğla Chamber of Pharmacists and changes daily.

Below is today's list for the Bodrum district only. Each pharmacy covers its own neighborhood cluster, so check the area column to find the one nearest to where you're staying, whether that's a hotel in Bodrum Center or a villa out toward Yalıkavak.

Bodrum Duty Pharmacy List

How the Rotation Works

Duty pharmacies typically open around 18:30–19:00 and stay open until 08:00–08:30 the next morning, covering the overnight gap when other pharmacies are closed. The exact start time can shift by half an hour depending on the pharmacy, so it's worth calling ahead if you're heading out late.

If you're arriving on a late flight and need medication right after landing, it's worth arranging your Airport Transfers with enough buffer time to stop at one of these locations before hotel check-in.

Planning Around Pharmacy Hours

Bodrum's duty list changes every single day and is organized by sub-region, so a pharmacy on duty in Turgutreis tonight won't necessarily be open tomorrow. If you're combining a pharmacy stop with sightseeing or booking Tours & Activities, it makes sense to check the day's list again before you leave your accommodation, especially around Events weekends when local roads get busier.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I find the duty pharmacy nearest to me in Bodrum?

Check the area column in the table above to match your neighborhood, since duty pharmacies are assigned by sub-region such as Merkez, Yalıkavak, Turgutreis, Bitez or Göltürkbükü. If you're unsure, call the listed number directly before heading over.

What hours are duty pharmacies open?

Most open in the early evening, around 18:30 to 19:00, and remain open through the night until about 08:00 to 08:30 the following morning. Hours can vary slightly by pharmacy, so always confirm by phone if timing matters.

Does this list change daily?

Yes, the on-duty rotation is updated every day by the Muğla Chamber of Pharmacists, and a different set of pharmacies will be on duty tomorrow. Always check the current date's list rather than relying on a previous day's information.

Are there duty pharmacies in smaller areas like Gümüşlük or Torba?

Not every sub-area has its own duty pharmacy every night; some nights the coverage is combined, such as the Gümbet-Konacık-Ortakent-Bitez cluster, or Gündoğan-Göltürkbükü together. Check the list for the closest combined area if your specific neighborhood isn't listed separately.

Can I just walk in without calling first?

You generally can, but calling ahead is a good habit, especially late at night or if you need a specific medication, since stock can vary by pharmacy. It also confirms the pharmacy is indeed open before you make the trip.

Always confirm by phone before visiting, as duty schedules can occasionally be updated. Source: Mugla Chamber of Pharmacists (Muğla Eczacı Odası).
