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!

Yeliz is a vibrant and talented designer. Her tailors work in house and are very skilled. One of…read morewhom previously worked for Valentino. She makes a range of clothing and does a lot of formal and semi-formal wear. She has both ready made gowns and can custom make gowns. She listened to what I wanted and designed my wedding dress exactly the way I had wanted it. She also came to my wedding venue and helped me get into the dress before my ceremony. In addition, because I asked she helped design the decor for our outdoor ceremony and reception. Can't recommend her more highly.

I had a gold bracelet the other day, I went to sell it, they looked at me for 10 minutes, I asked…read morequestions, they didn't even answer, they treated us like a thief, then they said that it wouldn't come to us, and when I said it was fake, they said it wouldn't come to us, it's obvious that what they did is not fit in the trades, I think 2 old men who don't even stand up, I think they can't earn well these days, I hope they continue to be tradesmen. It's sad that they can't be a man at that age. I don't recommend you to go here.

I would consider Winmax to be equivalent as America's Forever21 or Wet Seal. I purchased plenty of…read moreday clothing here along with real fine silver jewelry for a fraction of the cost in Turkish Lira. Just like Forever21, they have an endless collection of random clothing all over the store in all designs, colour suited, and categorized by season. Over summer, the weather in Turkey can rise above three digits so loose clothing is preferred. Surprisingly however, they have a very extensive collection of men's clothing here. My male companions even walked out with several sports coat that look like they were tailored by Hugo Boss. One of my greatest finds here are my real silver jewelry. I couldn't believe that the jewelry that I purchased here for under 10 US dollars a piece was fine silver jewelry. My jeweler mentioned I was lucky to find these pieces and I am so glad I didn't regret the purchase I made on my last visit to Winmax. Service here is above extraordinary. Majority of the associates on the floor are male, and the females worked the cash register. At one point when my male companions were shopping I was beginning to get tiresome in heels, and one of the floor associates noticed and brought me a chair from behind the counter along with a bottle of water. I thought this gesture was beyond going his duties and was grateful for the kindness. Shopping in Turkey is one of my favourite past times when I visited the country frequently. If you're looking for new fashion or a gift to take home, Winmax would be considered a good choice x

Expect madness when it comes to finding a parking spot..but worth it if you have to hoof it a little bit. Parking on the street is normal.
