Time Center Alanya | Review of the shops and atmosphere
Before my trip to Antalya, I had planned to visit Time Center whenever I was in Alanya, so I could check out the shops and prepare a report for you.
According to the information I had gathered from the shopping center’s website, Time Center is one of the seaside shopping malls in Alanya and is located near many of the city’s popular hotels. I reached it easily with a short walk from my hotel.
I had heard that the mall has 56 stores, offering a variety of products such as clothing, bags and shoes, cosmetics, jewelry, toys, and more.
Like other modern shopping centers, Time Center also provides facilities such as parking, services for people with disabilities, medical assistance, ATMs, restaurants, and cafes.
However, the main reason I decided to spend time visiting Time Center was the feedback I had read about its affordable prices.

My Shopping Experience at the Stores
DeFacto was my first choice among the shops in Time Center. It’s a chain store offering interesting clothes and accessories at reasonable prices. I bought a simple shirt for my sister. The salesperson recommended the “Regular Fit Satin Long Sleeve Shirt” and I paid 519.99 TL for it.
In the DeFacto store window, I also spotted a stunning pink faux fur jacket, but it was priced at 3,158.22 TL, which was too expensive for me.
Overall, I’d say the prices ranged from average to high.
I usually buy my personal care products from WATSONS, so this time I visited their branch at Time Center to buy a body spray. I ended up purchasing a roll-on deodorant for 71 TL — very affordable.
I also visited MAVI, as I wanted to compare the price of jeans there with other stores. In general, women’s jeans were cheaper than men’s, and prices were roughly 20% lower than in Mavi branches in the city.
My Overall Experience at Time Center Stores
Although the number of stores at Time Center isn’t huge, I wouldn’t say it’s a bad mall. What I’m sure about is that the prices are lower compared to other malls in Antalya. You might not find everything you’re looking for here, but if you take your time, you can definitely make some good purchases.

It was time to treat myself a little, but first, I had to get some Turkish sweets from Time Center.
LOKUM WORLD is a well-known name among Turkish locals in Istanbul. I first went straight to their baklava section. There were so many options that I couldn’t decide, so I asked the seller to mix three types for me. The total came to 589 TL. Yes, Turkish baklava is expensive, but it was delicious and very fresh.

Since I was very hungry and didn’t have much time to explore other food options, I went with a familiar name — McDonald’s. I ordered a McChicken and a cheeseburger, which cost me 1,300 TL in total. The food wasn’t very cheap, and the cheeseburger was nearly cold. But overall, I would rate the experience 8 out of 10.

Some of the popular brands include LC Waikiki and DeFacto. You’ll also find a toy store for kids, a small grocery store, and even a tattoo shop.
Thanks to air conditioning and a well-thought-out design, this shopping center is a great place to escape the summer heat of Alanya.
