Yeşilköy at a glance
Yeşilköy, part of the Bakırköy district, is a former seaside resort on the Sea of Marmara. Known historically as San Stefano, it keeps a calm neighbourhood feel with wooden mansions, tree-lined streets and a seafront park. As it lies right next to the former Atatürk Airport, the area has many hotels, and the Istanbul Aviation Museum is also located in Yeşilköy.
Many hotels in Yeşilköy are close to the old airport, and some may have the word airport in their name. To make sure your transfer runs between Istanbul Airport and the correct hotel, write the full hotel name and address in your booking. If you are staying in the quieter inner streets lined with wooden houses, your driver drops you at the door or the closest accessible point.
