    Shop

Istanbul is a shoppers city… some fabulous malls, many of which are impressive in terms of their architecture, choice of stores, and environment, as well as the flag ship stores of International brands such as Prada, Channel and Louis Vuitton in the Nisantasi district make this a great place to indulge in some retail therapy, particularly with the sterling/ Lira exchange rate as favourable at it is for UK residents (Winter 2020).
