There are two main airports in Istanbul
Accommodation recs:
We'll host the after-party at the Meridien hotel (see below). We recommend you take a room there— it’ll make things easier (and more fun!). We have already secured a group discount and we are discussing to further increase it. We'll do the booking ourselves so if you want to stay at the Meridien, please get in touch.
If you prefer to stay in a hotel of your own choice, or Airbnb and similar, here are some areas we recommend:
- To be close to us: Bebek, Etiler, Ulus, Arnavutköy
- To be near historic parts of the city: Cihangir, Nişantaşı, Beyoğlu
We’ll be providing more details about the wedding in the coming weeks, so stay tuned for updates and do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions!
Flight
Istanbul Airport
Istanbul Airport (IST): This is the larger airport where most Turkish Airlines flights arrive. It's located on the European side of the city and is a shorter ride from all hotel and rental suggestions. We are not planning to organise a shuttle service from the airport, but buses, taxis and a brand new line metro line will take you to your final destination.
Flight
Sabiha Gökçen Airport
Used primarily by Pegasus Airlines, this airport is located on the Asian side of Istanbul, farther from the city centre. However, there are plenty of transportation options available—such as buses, taxis, and ride-sharing services like Uber—to help you reach your destination.
