TL;DR
The dolmuş (shared minibus) to Novomall (which also has a Migros supermarket) costs around 10 TRY or about 2 USD/EUR, payable in different currencies. For the return trip, catch it from the stop directly across from where you got off and tell the driver the landmark 'Linda Resort'.
One traveler asked about Kiwi Taxi airport transfers - specifically what type of cars they send and whether all seats face forward, since riding backward is uncomfortable for some.
The exact dolmuş fare to Novomall in Turkish lira wasn't confirmed by the traveler, but roughly it's about 2 USD or 2 EUR per ride - check current lira pricing online before your trip.
Right next to Novomall there's also a Migros supermarket, so this stop is convenient for grocery shopping as well as visiting the mall.
To avoid missing your stop on the way to Novomall, it's best to ask the dolmuş driver in advance where to get off.
For the return trip, look for the bus stop on the opposite side of the road from where you got off heading to Novomall - dolmuş minibuses going the other direction depart from there.
To make sure the driver knows exactly where you need to get off on the way back, just say the landmark name 'Linda Resort' in Turkish/English.
A traveler asked whether it's possible to get back from Novomall by taxi and how to communicate with the driver if unsure about having Turkish lira cash on hand.
