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!
