Getting to Istanbul
We recommend flying into Istanbul International Airport (IST), the city’s main hub located about 40 minutes from the city center. Most major U.S. cities, including New York (JFK), Chicago (ORD), San Francisco (SFO), and Los Angeles (LAX), offer direct flights to Istanbul. Please ensure your passport is valid for at least six months beyond your travel dates, and note that tourist visas are generally not required for stays under 90 days, but we encourage all guests to confirm current entry requirements on the official Turkish e-Visa website.
​​​
Upon arrival, you can reach your hotel or Airbnb in several ways.
We highly recommend using ride apps for the best rates and secure rides. Uber is safe and reliable in Turkey. If you prefer, yellow taxis are also available outside the arrivals terminal and can take you to central Istanbul (but beware of not securing your rate in advance!)
If you so wish, you can arrange VIP airport pickup or private transportation by contacting our travel concierge Hossein by email (hossein@dochievent.com) or WhatsApp (+90 552 340 7637).
