Ataşehir at a glance
Ataşehir is one of the planned, modern districts of Istanbul's Asian side. Residential towers, gated housing complexes, shopping malls and office blocks shape its skyline. As the home of the Istanbul Finance Centre, Ataşehir has also become an important business location for banking and finance, and many visitors here are travelling for work.
Ataşehir is on the same side of the city as Sabiha Gökçen, so the transfer does not cross the Bosphorus. Many residences and complexes in the district consist of several blocks with separate gates, so we recommend noting the complex name, the block and, if relevant, the gate you prefer in your booking. If you are heading to an office building, the building name and full address help your driver drop you at the correct entrance.
