We have appointed
O.D.S Travel Agency for
Airport transfers, Hotel booking ,
bus/car rental.
Please note that the pool is away from the center of Istanbul and close to Ataturk Airport . Therefore, to secure convenient accomodations, you must book early.
They will request payments as soon as booking is confirmed , for various accomodations in Istanbul, it is ideal if you can give them a per person, per day budget.
Ikitelli Sport Complex is located in the 4th lap of Basaksehir which is quite a distance from the city centre . All three hotels are in a relatively close distance to the Pool which means under normal conditions (without busy traffic and not in rush hours) it will take you 30 min. by car to get there. Morning traffic must also be taken into consideration and more time should be given to reach the Pool on time. Public transportation to İkitelli is rare, limited and not commonly preferred due to heavy traffic. Most favorably, private cars and/or coaches should be used for transportation. In case you would like to make your own accommodation arrangements, we highly recommend you not to choose hotels which are in city centre (considering the long distance and heavy traffic) and cheap accommodation options on which you do not have sufficient information. We strongly recommend you to rent mini / midi buses/cars in order to be transferred to the pool without hassling in the busy traffic of a big city.
The Travel Agency will inform you about the guided tours to various sights in Istanbul during the Championship
