I was vacationing in Batumi and decided to drop by Turkey. I've read how easy and simple everything is ... what a variety of brands and great prices in this shopping center. I'll start from the beginning... the border. I stayed in the car for about two hours. My wife and children were waiting for me in the waiting area all this time because only the driver should stay in the car. By the way, in order to enter Turkey from the neutral zone, you will be required to have insurance. In the neutral zone, the girl in the window is trying to divorce you for three months of insurance, but if you ask enough questions, it turns out that the minimum period is 45 days (although according to the law there is an option of 30 days). Payment is only in lira, dollars and euros... so don't get fooled by what they write in the reviews and don't bring only Georgian lari with you. The insurance cost $57 or 1,600 liras or 160 lari. At the entrance, the Georgians offer to make insurance for 90 lari, but I do not know if it will be real. Now let's move on to the shopping center.... I don't know where you need to come from to be impressed by this household. A small food court and 5-6 "branded" stores such as Cotton, De Facto, Vans, Addidas. The return trip took less, about 1.5 hours.
Disappointed, I visited the city of Pazar, there was a real vibe market, only he saved this trip by showing the real Turkey.

There is a minimum required for such a small shopping center. If you are vacationing nearby in Georgia, it is very easy to get there: minibuses run from the border for GEL 2 or taxis for 15. In the shopping center itself, you can pay in LCW in lari or USD, change in lira (the exchange rate is better than in the exchangers at the border). There is free WiFi on the food court (NAME: 3408bazaaravm PASSWORD: 3408bazaar)

The first shopping center, after the border with Georgia, prices are quite affordable, it is possible to exchange currency (the exchange rate is not very profitable, it is better to change in Batumi), there are cafes. For those who plan to travel from Batumi to Turkey without a car to buy an ideal place, there is still a bazaar nearby.
