Elara Hotel sits on a side street in the Yalı neighbourhood of Mavişehir, the newer residential part of Karşıyaka on the northern shore of the bay. Hilltown Karşıyaka Shopping Mall and MaviBahçe Shopping Mall are a short drive away, and the ferry piers at Bostanlı and Karşıyaka make it easy to cross to the other side of İzmir. Majura Hotel is right next door, Marlen Hotel Mavişehir is a few minutes' walk away, and SH Hotel Business is a short drive from here.
Because Majura Hotel shares practically the same address, write the full name Elara Hotel in the booking notes so the driver pulls up at the right entrance. You will be met at the airport with a name sign, the price is fixed, and cancellation is free.
