Okay, just noticed there was no review for this shopping mall either. Well, first off, it's an…read moreoutlet, so everything here is on sale. I bought the most magnificent winter coat at Mango here and it was only like 80tl instead of the usual 200-300tl you might pay for such a coat. It was glorious! I also like the food court in Optimum, it's airy, with huge ceilings and lots of space. Well designed, its impossible to get lost in this mall. It also has an indoor skating rink which is cute and lots of play areas for kids. Information people are friendly, and the entry way has a big old Starbucks right in front. There are lockers in Optimum as well, which we have used on occasion. I also really like the Koctas in Optimum, but the Migros, by comparison, thoroughly sucks. Oh well, all in all one of my go-to malls in Istanbul.

"Branded mall not an outlet!"…read more We went there as there was nothing near our Hotel (titanic business hotel). Don't be confused with the name, its not an outlet mall as in North America that's where the bargains are. The mall is decent and not out of fashion so worth the visit and if you like us stuck and need some good tasty food like KFC or Burger King this is the place. All the restaurants are on the 4th floor. The cab/Taxi could be trick as from the hotel it was 7 lira and going back they werent taking us until we gave them 10 liras. The guy managing the taxis keep on tell the drives and not letting us negotiate.
