We got a taxi over the bridge to the Cevhir shopping mall. It took about 20 minutes and was 15TL. The Kanyon was just a bit further on. Cevhir was huge and a had car park in basement then the next floor had lots household shops selling furniture etc., also supermarkets and ATM's. Then there was about 4 floors of shops selling clothes, shoes, electrical goods etc., Lots of well know shops, like Mango & Debenhams also C.&.A's which I realised I had missed now it's not in the U.K. The top floor had lots of food outlets and interesting a large tobacco shop which had Havana Cigars. There was a taxi rank outside which was very convenient for our return.
Reference our Hotel, we also had lovely views down to the cruise ships from the bar/restaurant/roof terrace which had sun loungers, also because we booked for over 3 days got free pick up at airport and free 3 course dinner with a choice of two restaurants. Hotel also had a pool, fitness suite and sauna in the basement.
