Pharmacies on Duty in Bodrum Today – September 28, 2026

If you're staying anywhere on the peninsula and need medicine outside normal store hours, Bodrum operates a rotating duty system (nöbetçi eczane) so that at least one pharmacy stays open overnight in each area. Below is the list for Monday, September 28, 2026, covering Bodrum Center, Mumcular, Yalıkavak, Turgutreis, and the Gümbet-Konacık-Ortakent-Bitez and Gündoğan-Göltürkbükü zones.

Duty Pharmacies in Bodrum District – September 28-29, 2026

How the Rotation Works

Each sub-district of Bodrum takes turns covering the night shift, so the pharmacy on duty changes daily. Most shifts start around 18:30-19:00 in the evening and run until 08:30 the next morning, picking up right where regular daytime pharmacies leave off.

If you're arriving from the airport late at night and think you might need medication, it's worth checking this list before you land, or asking your driver during your airport transfer which duty pharmacy is closest to your accommodation.

Planning Around Pharmacy Hours

Areas like Turgutreis and Yalıkavak can be a 20-30 minute drive from Bodrum Center, so knowing the correct duty pharmacy for your specific neighborhood saves real time in an emergency. This is especially useful if you're staying at one of the Bodrum hotels further out on the peninsula, away from the main town center.

Travelers with a busy schedule of tours and activities or evening plans tied to local events should note the duty pharmacy nearest their route in advance, since regular pharmacies close for the night once the rotation begins.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the duty pharmacy list change every day?

Yes, the on-duty pharmacy for each area of Bodrum rotates daily according to a schedule set by the Muğla Chamber of Pharmacists. Always check the current date before heading out, since yesterday's list will no longer apply.

Are duty pharmacies open all night?

Generally yes. Duty hours typically run from around 18:30-19:00 in the evening until 08:00-08:30 the following morning, covering the full overnight period when regular pharmacies are closed.

Can I call ahead to confirm a pharmacy is open?

Yes, and it's recommended, especially late at night or during holidays when schedules can occasionally shift. Calling first also lets you confirm they stock the specific medication you need.

What if my area isn't listed for today?

Not every sub-district has a duty pharmacy every single day; some areas, like Gümüşlük, may be covered by a neighboring zone's pharmacy on certain dates. In that case, the nearest listed pharmacy in an adjoining area will be your best option.

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