How to reach Galatasaray university?

Galatasaray University is 24 km away from the Istanbul Ataturk Airport. Right in front of the exit door of the Ataturk International Airport, take the HAVAS bus to TAKSIM (40mn, 9 TRY) and get off at the last stop, TAKSIM SQUARE (for detailed information about Havas buses please visit http://www.havas.com.tr/en/otobus_istanbul_ahl.asp ). Then either take a taxi (15mn, ~12 TRY), or take a bus and get off at the stop Galatasaray University. The number of busses are 40, 40T, 42T, DT1, DT2.

Second possibility, from Istanbul Ataturk Airport to Galatasaray University is taking a taxi (45 mn, ~60 TRY).

Finally, you may take the metro (1.3 TRY) from Istanbul Ataturk Airport and change to tramway (1.3 TRY) at the Zeytinburnu station. Get off at the last stop in Kabatas. From Kabatas taxi costs 6 TRY, there are also regular buses (Ortakoy direction, 1.3 TRY).

If you are coming from Sabiha Gokcen Airport, take the HAVAS bus to TAKSIM (for more detailed information, please visit http://www.havas.com.tr/en/otobus_istanbul_saw.asp ).

Keep in mind that, Ataturk Airport is more closer than Sabiha Gokcen Airport to the Galatasary University.

Notice: If you take a taxi from the airport, and give the address of the Çırağan Hotel (the official conference hotel), your driver will absolutely want to drop you to the luxiruous Ciragan Hotel Kempinsky. Don't try in vain to convince him that there may exist a modest hotel with almost the same name. You may instead let your driver bring you to the Hotel Çırağan Kempinsky. Once you are there, you may either walk till the Ciragan Hotel or tell somebody to indicate him the way--you may practice on the map we provided on the venue page.

Local information
