TL;DR

Operator stores in Bodrum may refuse tourist SIM sales or quote expensive plans: one reported Turkcell offer started at TRY 1,700 for 10 GB/7 days. Check hotel-area markets or PTT branches, or arrange an eSIM before traveling for better value.

As an alternative to mobile-operator shops, try PTT post offices: travelers report that they may sell SIMs to visitors with data, calls, and SMS included. Confirm the currently available packages at the specific branch.

Hotel-area markets have previously sold tourist SIMs for about EUR 30 with 50 GB of data and no calling allowance. Another lower-cost option is to buy a physical SIM or eSIM before flying to Turkey rather than in Bodrum.

A Vodafone shop in central Bodrum reportedly declined to sell a tourist SIM despite advertising a 20 GB package for TRY 550. Turkcell did sell SIMs, but the entry offer was from TRY 1,700 for 10 GB valid for seven days, so comparing other branches and operators may help.
