What day is Sarigerme market, and what are the opening hours?
The weekly market is held on Saturdays. It opens at 09:00 and closes at 19:00, so plan your market visit within those hours. The 01:00 closing time applies to the village shops, not to the weekly market stalls.
Where is the market?
The market is on the main street in the centre of Sarigerme. This describes the market area, not a particular hotel or a tour meeting point. If you are coming from your hotel, ask reception for directions to the Saturday market in Sarigerme centre.
What can you buy?
You can find local fruit and vegetables, clothing and drinks. The market can be part of a relaxed look around the village as well as a shopping stop. Before buying, check whether a displayed price is per item, by weight or for a particular product.
The weekly market and the village shops are different
The weekly market runs only on Saturdays, 09:00–19:00. The shops in the centre are open every day until 01:00 the following morning. On other days, or after 19:00 on Saturday, plan for the village shops rather than the market stalls.
Paying by cash or credit card
Cash and card payment options are available. Confirm the total amount and your preferred payment method with the seller before buying. This guide does not promise that a particular foreign currency, exchange rate or card brand is accepted at every stall or shop.
Planning market day around your excursions
Choose Saturday if visiting the weekly market is your priority. A walk around the shops can fit another day or an evening. If you also have a tour booked, check your confirmed hotel pick-up and return arrangements before planning market time. Late shop opening does not mean that the market stays open late.
If the market is a priority, putting a full-day excursion on another day may make planning easier. A tour’s finishing time is not the time you reach your hotel or the market; allow for the journey as well.
- A separate day at sea: Check shared participation, the current programme and hotel collection/return arrangements on the Gocek 12 Islands Boat Trip page. Rather than squeezing a full sea day and the Saturday market into the same day, you can plan them on different days.
- A shorter outing: The Iztuzu Beach and Turtle Hospital Tour is a half-day option focused on the beach and turtle hospital, not the full-day Dalyan river and mud-bath programme. Confirm visitor access and transport arrangements. A half-day itinerary does not guarantee time to reach the market afterwards.
Use our 7 questions to ask before booking an excursion guide to narrow down your choice. Tell the team your preferred tour, date, full hotel name and the time you want to set aside for the market. Sending an enquiry is not a confirmed booking; availability, the total price and transport details need confirmation.
