On the 29th, there's a Republic Day celebration in Istanbul, and I arrive in the city that day at 6:00 PM. I've heard traffic can be very heavy. For getting from the airport (Sabina Gökçen) to accommodation in the city center, would you recommend Uber, a taxi, or the train and metro? Thanks in advance!

Marmaray would be best, it's super easy from SAW

That is not correct. Marmaray (commuter train) doesn't extend to SAW. You can instead take the regular subway all the way to Kadıköy if staying there otherwise change to Marmaray to get to the European side.

Ah you are right. Just take metro

Are recommendations for Antalya?
Is Konyaaltı really the best place to stay?

Hey people! Local here. I'll be in Istanbul November 7-14. I'd love to meet and hang out

I stayed in Konyaaltı while there and don’t regret it one bit.

Have also heard good things about Coworking Antalya though, I know a lot of folks stay closer to that area for the community aspect.

Hey 👋

Can someone recommend a good area to stay in Istanbul for tourism?

Karakoy or Taksim or Galata

shlomikom 2mo

Ortakoy
Bebek (higher budget)
Taksim
Levent / Etiler / Ulus as it is winter and one may not chose to be next to the Bosporus and you will also have Metro Access
Tepebasi / Beyoğlu / Taksim in you really wanna be in a more authentic atmosphere
Nişantaşı - kind of London’s Bond Steer Atmosphere (just nicer in my view )
I’m also visiting Istanbul these days (lived here 21 years before, now in Thailand)
So feel free to ask anything
And moreover if we have more people in Istanbul
Lets arrange a meet up

Does anyone have any recommendations for places to visit in Turkey this time of year?

In Istanbul for another 5 or so days but looking for somewhere a little more budget friendly up until Christmas

faun 1mo

Take a train to Eskişehir! It’s beautiful.

You can go around Abant Lake which is an amazing nature
This is not the season so I’d advice to check before you go as for what’s open and available

Or also rent a car and go around Spence Lake
There are also activities there like ATV in the forest and amazing sports around
