Travel & Stay
A few recommendations as you plan your arrival in Istanbul
To our guests joining us from the States, the UK, France, Italy, Denmark, Dubai, Singapore…you get the idea
We suggest arriving between Sunday, August 4th and Tuesday, August 6th in order to allow for some time to recuperate, adjust to the time zone, and perhaps explore Istanbul before the festivities.
We also suggest that you land at Istanbul International Airport (IST) airport if flying. We only suggest landing at Sabiha Gökçen Airport (SAW) if you choose to stay on the Asian side of the Bosphorus (the Kadıköy/Moda areas are optimal if so).

AirBnB
AirBnB is a perfectly suitable option for younger friends and larger groups. While you can find AirBnB’s all over the city, we do not recommend venturing too far into the outskirts—traffic can become an issue .
Generally, we recommend that you stay within the area in the screenshot below:
