Important information
Please note the city is very large and it can take a long time to commute from the touristic center/old town to the venue in Basaksehir, which is closer to the airport. Traffic can get very bad during the busy periods doubling the commute time. We have compiled a list of suggested hotels for you according to your needs and tastes but which ever you choose rest assured that there will be time to enjoy the many faces of Istanbul during your visit, including a touristic boat cruise on the Bosphorus River for the social dinner on the evening of Thursday the 27th of August.
