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.
Our travel concierge, Hossein, can arrange VIP airport pickup, private transportation, and any additional travel needs throughout your stay. To coordinate, please contact him at hossein@dochievent.com.
Yellow taxis are available outside the arrivals terminal and can take you to central Istanbul. However, we'd highly recommend using ride apps to secure fares in advance. Uber is safe and reliable.
