NovaMall for Tourists Staying in Side
If you are based in Side, NovaMall is the nearest full-scale shopping and entertainment option outside the resort. It is not a tourist trap — it is a working mall used by locals — which means prices are fair, quality is consistent and the experience feels grounded in everyday Turkish life.
Branded Shopping Without the Antalya Drive
Side Old Town and beachfront shops sell souvenirs and resort wear, but if you need proper high-street fashion, electronics or cosmetics, NovaMall is your closest option. It saves you the 75 km trip to Antalya city and offers many of the same brands — H&M, Levi’s, Teknosa, Watsons — in one compact building.
Air-Conditioned Comfort
Side summers regularly reach 35–40°C. NovaMall offers a cool, enclosed environment where you can shop, eat and watch a film without battling the heat. It is a practical midday escape when the beach becomes unbearable.
Rainy-Day Backup Plan
Winter and spring can bring sudden downpours. When the beach is off-limits, NovaMall becomes one of the best things to do in Side without getting wet. Combine a cinema trip, a long lunch and some browsing to salvage a rained-off day.
Family-Friendly Infrastructure
Clean toilets, baby-changing facilities, wide lifts, a kids’ play zone (Çocuk Kent) and a bowling alley mean families can spend several hours here without stress. The food terrace has options picky children will recognise.
How Long Should You Spend?
1
Quick Visit (2–3 hours)
Targeted shopping at 2–3 stores + a coffee. Best if you know exactly what you need.
2
Standard Visit (3–5 hours)
Leisurely browsing across floors + lunch at the food terrace. The most common choice for Side tourists.
3
Full Day (5–7 hours)
Serious shopping + cinema + dinner. Worth it if you are combining with a morning at Manavgat Bazaar or Manavgat Waterfall.
What to Combine with NovaMall
NovaMall sits on the D400 between Side and Manavgat, so it slots naturally into a east–west day trip. Popular combinations for Side tourists:
- Morning: Manavgat Waterfall + riverside walk → Afternoon: NovaMall for lunch, shopping and cinema
- Morning: Manavgat Bazaar (Mondays, Thursdays) for local goods → Afternoon: NovaMall for air-conditioned branded shopping
- Evening: Late shopping at NovaMall until 23:00 → taxi back to Side for dinner in the Old Town
Transport Planning Tip
If you plan to stay past 22:00, check the last dolmuş departure back to Side — frequencies drop after 21:00 in shoulder season. A taxi or pre-booked transfer is safer for evening cinema trips.
