When
10-11 October
Arriving at hotel
  • There is a metro station in Istanbul Ataturk Airport. Take it to the last station, Yenikapi. Then switch to Marmaray line (Just ask for it, if you can't see the signs), and take the Ayrilik Cesmesi route (last station). Community members will meet you at the airport, Marmaray and in Kadikoy.
  • See the route in Trafi. The whole route will take around 1 hour.
  • Locals use İstanbulkart for public transportation, but you will either use single-pass tokens (jeton) or multiple-pass tickets. These are valid for metro, buses and steamboats. Single-pass tokens/tickets cost 4 Turkish lira can be obtained from a Jetonmatik in every station.
  • Fun fact: Marmaray is a train that goes under the sea, and it connects two continents! It will take you from Europe to Asia in minutes but you won't be able to see anything.
