Everyone wants to visit Istanbul and it is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Turkey. Just in case you didn’t know, it is also the only city in the world that straddles two continents, Europe and Asia. So what does this city have to offer tourists? Istanbul has such an excellent array of restaurants, bars, clubs, museums and galleries that they say they outnumber Ottoman Mosques. So if it is Turkish culture, nightlife, great food and an adventure you are after, you are sure to get it by booking cheap flights to Istanbul.
The city is served by two international airports. Atatürk International Airport is the larger of the two and it is just 15 miles from the city centre of Istanbul. Sabiha Gökçen International is the second and it is located 22 miles south-east of Istanbul. Both airports operate flights to and from many international destinations.
Ataturk Airport has three terminals and is the largest airport in Turkey, located on the European side of Istanbul. To reach the city centre the cheapest option is the underground/light rail service, Istanbul LRT. The journey to Aksaray takes about 30 minutes.
Sabiha Gökçen Airport is located on the Asian side of Istanbul. The airport is considered Istanbul's low cost airport as it serves many budget carriers like easyJet, WizzAir, Pegasus Airlines and Air Europa, to name a few. The cheapest and easiest way to get from the airport to Istanbul city centre is by public bus, IETT. The bus lines are: E3 - 4.LEVENT -SABIHA GÖKÇEN AIRPORT; E10- KADIKOY-KURTKOY-SABIHA GÖKÇEN AIRPORT; 16S- S.GÖKÇEN HAVAALANI-YENISEHIR-KOZYATAGI; 132 KARTAL-TEPEÖREN.
