Taxis are available for about $20 US each way from IST to this area. Public transportation is much cheaper (about $3 US). You need to be back at the Airport by 18:00 for security check and airline check-in; if you have already your connecting boarding pass it will be quicker. Make sure to have any luggage tagged to your final destination to avoid waiting at customs area. Good luck!
Brilliant thank you.
I don't need a visa for entry so that should not be an issue. I think TK has a separate entry for j passengers so that should be quick too.
Coming from TLV so not sure if my luggage will be sent through? Both flights are with TK so fingers crossed.
Thanks again.
