Florentia Village Istanbul – Luxury Designer Outlet & Visitor Guide

What Is Florentia Village Istanbul?

Florentia Village Istanbul is one of the newest luxury shopping destinations in Istanbul and a major new attraction for international visitors arriving through Istanbul Airport (IST).

Opened in September 2026, Florentia Village is a luxury designer outlet built in an Italian-style village concept, combining premium shopping, restaurants, cafés and leisure areas in one destination.

Its biggest advantage for international travellers is its location. Florentia Village is situated in the Eyüpsultan area, close to Istanbul Airport, making it possible to combine airport transportation, shopping and hotel travel in the same journey.

Where Is Florentia Village Istanbul?

Florentia Village is located on the European side of Istanbul in the Eyüpsultan area, between Istanbul Airport and Göktürk.

Official project information describes the outlet as being only a few minutes from Istanbul Airport, while actual driving time can vary depending on traffic, airport pickup location and current road conditions.

Because of this location, Florentia Village is especially convenient for travellers arriving at Istanbul Airport, passengers heading to IST before a flight and visitors with a long international layover.

Why Florentia Village Is Ideal for Istanbul Airport Travellers

Most shopping malls in Istanbul require travelling deeper into the city. Florentia Village is different because it is located close to Istanbul Airport.

This makes it suitable for several types of travellers:

• Passengers arriving at Istanbul Airport before going to their hotel
• Travellers going from their hotel to Istanbul Airport before a flight
• Passengers with a long layover at Istanbul Airport
• Visitors who want to shop without travelling deep into central Istanbul
• Families and groups travelling with luggage

Shopping at Florentia Village Istanbul

Florentia Village focuses on luxury, designer and premium outlet shopping in an open-air, Italian-inspired environment.

Visitors can explore fashion, accessories and lifestyle stores while also enjoying restaurants, cafés and relaxing areas throughout the complex.

The destination is designed not only as a shopping centre but also as a place where international visitors can spend several hours before continuing their journey.

Brands and prices at Florentia Village

The first phase has more than 180 stores on about 65,000 m². International names include Prada, Moncler, Ferragamo, Ralph Lauren, Hugo Boss and Nike, alongside Turkish retailers such as Beymen, Boyner, Mavi, Koton, LC Waikiki, DeFacto and İpekyol. The developers quote typical savings of 30–70% on regular prices, depending on the brand and the season. The line-up keeps growing, so check the official store directory if you are looking for one particular label.

Visitors who live outside Türkiye can ask for a tax-free form when they pay and claim the VAT refund at the airport when they leave the country, subject to the usual minimum amounts and conditions.

Restaurants and Dining at Florentia Village

Florentia Village also includes restaurants and cafés, making it convenient for travellers who want to combine shopping with lunch, dinner or a coffee break.

This can be particularly useful after a long international flight, before a late departure from Istanbul Airport or during a long layover between flights.

Places to eat include CASA, from Turkey's Doğuş Group, and The Shelter, a food hall with several kitchens under one roof, plus cafés for a quick coffee between stores.

How to Get to Florentia Village Istanbul

Florentia Village can be reached from Istanbul Airport, Taksim, Beyoğlu, Sultanahmet, Galataport and many other parts of Istanbul.

For travellers carrying luggage or shopping bags, a private transfer offers a direct journey without metro changes, waiting for public transport or managing suitcases between stations.

By metro: M11 to İhsaniye

The M11 metro stops at İhsaniye station, right next to the outlet. From Istanbul Airport it is just one stop. From the city, take the M2 to Gayrettepe and change to the M11; the M11 part takes about 35–40 minutes. Trains run from about 06:00 until shortly after midnight, and you pay with an Istanbulkart or a contactless bank card. Our M11 metro guide and Istanbulkart guide explain fares and tickets.

By taxi or car

The outlet lies on the D-020 road and has a large car park, valet parking and a taxi point. From Istanbul Airport the drive takes about 5 minutes when the roads are clear; from Taksim or Sultanahmet, allow 35–60 minutes depending on traffic.

Istanbul Airport to Florentia Village

Add Florentia Village as an Extra Stop During Your Istanbul Airport Transfer

One of the most convenient ways to visit Florentia Village is to include it as an additional stop during your private Istanbul Airport transfer.

You do not necessarily need to arrange a completely separate vehicle. Depending on your reservation and requested waiting time, Florentia Village can be added between Istanbul Airport and your hotel or between your hotel and Istanbul Airport.

Your driver can wait for the agreed period while you shop, eat or spend time at Florentia Village. After your visit, you continue the rest of your journey in the same private vehicle.

Additional stop, waiting time and parking charges apply and should be arranged in advance.

Istanbul Airport → Florentia Village → Hotel

Arriving at Istanbul Airport and travelling to your hotel in Istanbul? Florentia Village can be added as an extra stop to your airport transfer.

During the agreed waiting period, your luggage can remain inside your private vehicle while you visit the outlet.

Your private vehicle can collect you directly from your hotel and take you to Florentia Village.

Your driver can wait during the agreed shopping period while your luggage remains inside the vehicle.

At the agreed pickup time, you will meet your driver again and continue directly to Istanbul Airport.

This is particularly useful for travellers who have already checked out of their hotel but still have several hours before their flight.

Instead of spending those hours inside the airport terminal, you can use part of your remaining time in Istanbul for shopping, dining and relaxing at Florentia Village.

Because you are travelling to catch a flight, your shopping time must be planned carefully. Always allow sufficient time for Istanbul traffic, airport check-in, security and passport control.

Florentia Village During a Long Layover at Istanbul Airport

A long layover at Istanbul Airport does not always mean spending the entire waiting period inside the terminal.

If you have enough time between your flights and meet the necessary entry requirements for Türkiye, Florentia Village can be an attractive option for spending part of your layover outside the airport.

Because Florentia Village is located close to Istanbul Airport, a private layover transfer can take you from IST directly to the outlet and return you to the airport before your next flight.

Istanbul Airport → Florentia Village → Istanbul Airport Layover Transfer

Your private driver can collect you from Istanbul Airport and take you directly to Florentia Village.

Your luggage can remain inside your private vehicle during the agreed waiting period. The driver stays with the vehicle at the designated parking area while you spend your time shopping, eating or relaxing at Florentia Village.

This means you do not need to carry your suitcases around the outlet while you shop.

At the agreed return time, your driver will meet you again at the designated pickup point at Florentia Village.

You will then travel directly back to Istanbul Airport in the same private vehicle.
