TL;DR
Travelers report that Russian Agricultural Bank UnionPay cards work at Migros and some other shops, but acceptance is inconsistent. Cash can be withdrawn at the VakıfBank ATM by the port; other ATMs may charge up to 10%, so carrying backup cash is sensible.
At Migros in Bodrum, travelers report that Russian Agricultural Bank UnionPay cards work on the standard card terminal. Some other shops accept them too, but it is best to confirm before paying.
For cash withdrawals, travelers recommend the VakıfBank ATM near Bodrum port, where they report being able to withdraw money without a fee.
Do not rely on UnionPay as your only payment method: some ATMs may reject the card and some shops do not accept card payments. Travelers report that withdrawal fees at other ATMs can reach 10%, so bringing cash is useful.
