There will be a block of hotel rooms at Beyond Hotel in Izmir. Please navigate to the "Travel" section for more information. If you would like to stay at the hotel, please indicate in your RSVP which nights you will stay and which room type you would like.
We recommend taking a taxi from the airport to the hotel. Bus transportation will be provided from the hotel to the venue and back.
No visa is required for US citizens. You just need a passport that is valid for at least six months beyond your date of entry.
Istanbul is an amazing metropolis with a diverse population and incredible history. Cappadocia is a truly unique natural beauty, home to the most iconic hot air balloons in the world. If you don't want to travel too far from Izmir, Çeşme is very close by if you are looking for a beach/resort stay.
Some Turkish people speak English and the hotel will have English-speaking staff, but most Turks do not speak English. If you have an app like Google translate, it will be helpful for getting around.
