A modern-day Grand Bazaar

Noteworthy for: Its striking architectural style sets it apart from the city's many other shopping malls.

Kanyon’s combination of convenience, size and the shops on offer make it one of the city’s most popular malls. Right next door to the Levent metro stop, its stunning indoor/outdoor design makes it perfect for shopping come rain or shine.

With around 200 boutique-style shops, it houses international franchises from Tommy Hilfiger to Harvey Nichols next to local brands such as a branch of the Turkish department store Vakko. With a bevy of eateries to boot, it’s also home to one of Istanbul's most luxurious cinemas.
