An upmarket mall with 250 shops, a food court, cinema and one of the city's better Italian restaurants, Paper Moon (www.papermoon.tr). But its infuriating design means it's hard to find your way out. Once Istanbul's slickest mall, Akmerkez is now eclipsed by the competition and suffers from an inconvenient location a good 15 minutes from the metro.
