Training in Istanbul
CORETR's home city and a direct flight from most of the Middle East, Africa, Europe and Central Asia.
Overview
Istanbul combines strong international air connections with a large supply of business hotels and meeting facilities. Its European-side business districts offer modern venues within reach of the metro network, while the historic peninsula and the Bosphorus give participants plenty to see outside training hours.
Areas suited to training
- Şişli and Mecidiyeköy business district
- Levent and Maslak financial district
- Taksim and Beyoğlu
- Ataşehir on the Asian side
Getting around
Metro lines connect the main business districts. The M2 line links Taksim, Şişli, Levent and Maslak. Taxis and private transfers are widely available; traffic is heavy at peak hours.
