I was on my way to London and wanted to get two presents for friends there. Back home in Noo Joyzee, there were a few more people to surprise. There is no pushing of anything on you as a customer. Staff seem to have nice friends and family who spend time in the store with her. Pricing is very simple - by weight. I got necklace pendants with silver chains. Pendant stones were lapis, saphire, topaz, and markazit & Akik. Take a break from walking around Kizlaragasi Hani bazaar in/near Konak. This is definitely a nice place to spend some time and get some shopping while resting!

It's a new mall in an older area Eşrefpaşa. It's great because it's only a short walk away. 0…read moreforeigners so if you're a foreigner expect some stares. Close to BUCA Garrison if you're in that area. 5* ultra clean & ultra new. Good amount of stores but NO FENERIUM :/ NOT CROWDED :)

Back in the day, when I used to live in Izmir as an exchange student, walking around Konak Pier was…read moreone of my favorite things to do. I'd meet my friends there for lunch (usually in Burger King as we did not have a lot of money to spend on the nicer places). It is a very sophisticated and small shopping mall located right in the center of the city, that used to have a great bookstore (not sure it is still there) and a bunch of cool (and expensive) brand stores. It may even have a cinema (I can't remember for sure and even if I did, it has been eight years, so that may have changed too). The thing I loved the most about it is that it is kind of open and the corridors are very large so you don't feel as if you are confined, something that usually happens to me when I go to other more traditional shopping malls. There are a bunch of really nice restaurants too, and you can sit there and appreciate the amazing view of the sea while you wait for your order to come. It is very close to the super popular Kemeralti market, so if you do not have the resources to do your shopping here, just make sure you come by for the view and some food and then you can move on to the street market to buy cheaper stuff!

Nice little mall close to Kemeralti open air market. Nice restaurants right on the water…read more The main stores are pretty expensive (because they have to probably pay a ridiculous rent). Anyway, this was the first place I went to see a movie while in Izmir. I saw 300 back in the day. I went to a movie there last year also. Still just as nice. They have sweet love seat style couch seats for 2 people. It's like watching a move at home! There's an Italian restaurant, a steak restaurant & a sushi place...they are all good.

There was a time in Izmir when Forum Bornova/Bornova Forum was THE it place…read more Then came along Optimum in Gazimir. Now it's all about Mavibahce in Mavisehir. The place is huge & seems to be always full of people! Went with a few friends & family & I was in shock. 1 I hadn't heard about this place & 2 it's an amazing mall...how have I not heard of this place (lol). I had been to the Mavisehir area before when Ege Mall & the older Carrefour/Praktiker AVM behind it were the places to be. Things have changed. It doesn't matter WHERE in Izmir you are. Great choices to eat (Beeves Burgers!), retail etc. You should stop by this mall!
