TL;DR
Pharmacies in Turkey are typically found near hotels and along the promenade. They accept Turkish lira; acceptance of international cards like UnionPay varies by location.
What the community said
Travelers report asking locals about the nearest pharmacy direction from their hotel. The evening promenade is reportedly lit, making a walk to a nearby pharmacy feasible after dark.

Payment options at Turkish pharmacies: Turkish lira is universally accepted, USD cash is not guaranteed, and UnionPay card acceptance depends on the specific terminal. It's safest to carry Turkish lira cash.

Some travelers look for pharmacies offering hotel delivery in Turkey. This service exists but is not universal — the hotel reception desk is the best place to get contacts for a local pharmacy that delivers.
