FAQs on Shopping Malls in Turkey

Which is the best mall in Turkey?

Istinye Park and Zorlu Center in Istanbul for range and setting, and Cevahir, which is among the largest in Europe. Ankara has Panora and Armada. All are modern, air-conditioned and full of international brands.

Should I shop in a mall or a bazaar?

Bazaar, for anything Turkish. The Grand Bazaar and Spice Bazaar in Istanbul sell carpets, ceramics, textiles, spices and jewellery that the malls do not. Malls are for global brands and for escaping the heat.

Can I bargain?

In the bazaars, absolutely, and it is expected: opening prices assume it. In malls, prices are fixed. In the Grand Bazaar, expect to settle well below the first number quoted.

Can I claim tax back?

Yes. Turkey operates a VAT refund for visitors on purchases above a threshold at participating shops. Ask for the form at the till and process it at the airport before checking in.

When are the malls open?

Generally ten in the morning until ten at night, seven days a week. The Grand Bazaar closes on Sundays and public holidays, which catches people out repeatedly.
