I should have plenty of time for the following flights (ATH-IST-HKG), with a 5 hr layover at IST, to experience the TK lounge. I used to like the TK lounge at the old IST a lot, except the wait for a shower (or sleeping room) used to be very long at peak times. How is that situation now at the new IST?

There are more showers and sleeping rooms compared to the old airport.
I have never waited more than 15-20 minutes for a shower at the new airport in both lounges for a shower.
