- AsadKhanIslamabad, Pakistan186 contributionsA Shopping Mall, where Sea adds to its Beauty and Aquarium adds to its AttractionsIt’s a medium size, beautiful shopping mall with two added features; one is its right on the Sea Shore and the second is; it has a wonderful Aquarium inside it. It has a wonderful view of the sea where you can sit on the terraces on various levels and can climb down to the sea level through beautifully made stairs or through elevators from inside the mall. It has everything which a shopping mall can have. It’s located outside the Front Stan IK main city and a nice place to visit for few hours.Visited August 2022Traveled with familyWritten August 13, 2022

- AndreasEk-SarfrazMalmö, Sweden25 contributionsAmazing location, ok food courtThis mall has the most beautiful location of malls I have visited so far. It it located on the side of the ocean, with an amazing view over the water and airplanes landing at Ataturk Airport. The food court is ok, but the more proper restaurants are located on the side towards the water. The mall has an exclusive feel to it, and I look forward to returning with more time.Visited October 2017Traveled with familyWritten October 6, 2017

- enta2015Athens, Greece44 contributionsFantastic location fantastic viewThere are a lot of malls in Istanbul but one of the best is Aqua Florya. Besides the variety of the well designed shops you can enjoy the sun light coming through the glass roof. Art pieces decorates the halls and the old market on the upper floor is something else.. Restaurants fast food cinemas and the vew to the Marmara is great. We sat on the steps outside the mall and watched the sunset with my daughter... Amazing.. We left the mall with plenty of bags. Easy access.. Recommended even for a coffee or tea or just windowshopping!Visited August 2015Traveled with familyWritten November 19, 2015

I was quite traumarized (im just slightly being dramatic but u get my point later) when on the first day arriving in istanbul, flight over 12 hrs, hungry and got ripped off for a kebab charged at 120 TL! Imagine! I was a solo traveller, and i observed,all the other neighbouring food vendors are close with each other.Since i was staying near this area (grand bazaar area actually) i avoided confrontation and just play along, play dumb so i wont potentially be marked and be harmed. I re-strategized and always ask for the menu first before i sit down, and point out to what I want, checked with the waiter on the price and put the order thru. NEVER order under the 'special menu section' that has no price tags! Sounds like what u usually do right.But in istanbul,they are so pushy that your mind is taken over, and mind you, on my first experience i was under the influence od hungricullination. Anywys! Back to this review, where im going with what i have written previously,i feel drained and sometimes sick of playing ahead of the game so i pay the fair price. In this place such as this mall, i eat with ease, peacefully, and knowing i am not being ripped off. Its really a relaxing experience, no one is hassling you in mall, calling u to come n buy their stuff, breathing in your neck sort of nonsense. Total tranquility with the outdoor sea of marmamra view. What else do you want more to experience.

A modern shopping center in historical city such as Istanbul, makes some thing different during you visit of Istanbul.
It is not only a modern shopping center with brands flagship store, here is a kind of relaxing shopping center!!! I am confident you are shocked! Yes here is a relaxing shopping center!
Because it is exactly on side of Marmara Sea and when you are enjoying you drink, coffee or Tea in the balcony, you can enjoy sea view!
That's why, you must visit this shopping mall

Hi dears.
Whats the times of free-bus from taksim sq. to floriya aqua???
Zahra Mojtahedzadeh
Istanbul, Türkiye147 contributions
I don't thing there is a free shuttle but you may access to Aqua Florya by metro
If you are coming from Taksim, you should take Yeni Kapi and from there change your train and take Marmaray
Exactly in front of Aqua Florya there is a metro station with name of Florya Akvaryum
Hello.
Is there a exchange counter? (euro > TL)
And Can I buy some souvenir such as dalan hand cream in aqua florya shopping center?

I will be staying at the marmara pera hotel so wanted to know the name or number of stations to reach the mall directly.
Thanks all and if it happens that you know how much are the tickets and what else can we do to explore the area around the mall and the aquarium please let me know. I am visiting in October

Hi there ...
I'm not going to tell you the whole possible ways of transportation cuz I don't them all, but as a summer resident in Istanbul I strongly recommend the taxi or uber ( uber much nicer in treatment than taxis) they will either take you through the E-5 (D100) freeway or via Taxim- Karaköy- Galat Bridge- eminono area- JFK road all the way through the Sahilyolu ( Coast highway)- Bakirköy area to the Aqua Florya AVM.

It is close to the airport and you can take a taxi for less than 20 lira. Not sure on the buses though. There are no other transport options.
