Ataşehir at a glance
Ataşehir, in the inland part of the Asian side, is a business and residential district that has grown quickly with its skyscrapers and residences. With the Istanbul Financial Center established here, the area has become a hub where banking and financial institutions are concentrated. Large shopping centres, office towers, extensive housing complexes and business hotels make Ataşehir one of the modern faces of the Asian side.
Transfers from Istanbul Airport to Ataşehir cross the Bosphorus to reach the Asian side. Because Sabiha Gökçen is on this side of the city, travellers sometimes mix up the two airports, so adding your flight number to the booking is important. Most residences and office towers have separate lobbies and security entrances, so please include the building name and block as well.
