[QUOTE=MacDaddie;13582353]Unless your really looking to save money - you'll end up wasting a lot of time trying to find the right bus. Someday I'm going to figure out the metro into the city but until then the taxi's are reasonable.
I agree that a taxi from the airport is the quickest and easist way to the Hilton. IMHO, it was very easy to find the bus that went from the Ataturk airport to Taskim square, and I like to save money when I travel. On the return to the airport, make sure you know which airport you need to go to. There are 2 airports with international flights.

I am less than 60 years old, so I was able to walk to the Hilton in under 10 minutes. ^ However, if I was walking with my wife, it would likely take longer than 10 minutes.
If I stay at the Hilton again, I will post my best times
