Directions:
Meet your hosts Nuray and Ipek at their home. If coming via taxi, please allow for a ~30min commute from Sultanahmet due to Istanbul traffic. If taking public transportation, take either the Metro or the Metrobus to Ataköy/Şirinevler station. The home is a 5 min walk from the station.
If arriving by train, get off at Ataköy/Şirinevler station, exit the platform and follow signs to Ataköy (to the left). Take the stairs down and turn left down the road. You’ll see a small cafe called ‘Gümüş’ (look for the red signage) and directly in front of it will be a narrow path. Turn right onto this path and take it past the tennis courts. You’ll see a large sign for Nuray’s apartment building, A4 A.
