Hey everyone, yesterday I got to Istanbul and hopefully was picked up by Gil and SÃlvia. Half for the laughs and half as a tip, you will be approached by "official" looking guys offering you directions. They will end up offering you a transportation/hotel service. I'm not new to this kind of stuff, so just for the laugh I followed his game, finally he offered me to take to the hotels (when you get here you'll find out they are next to each other), he offered me to take me to the hotel for "just" 50 euros. But wait! You can tell him you are a student and he will only charge you 30 euros! Isn't that an awesome deal? :) On top of that, he was swearing over his soul that there was no other way for me to get out of the airport. Yeah, sure.
Just to leave clear that I'm not that of a fool, I didn't take the service. I just smiled and said "my friends are waiting for me I think" after using their phone :D. Yeah, I'm evil. Ok, so when you get to the airport, just head out of international arrivals and go left, to the light metro station. From there on you can follow the instructions like the ones in hotel websites: http://www.erboyhotel.com/img/haritalar/buyuk/from_airport_to_erboy_hotel.gif Everything is labeled, no matter you understand an icecream of what is written, just remember the keywords to get down of the metro, you won't get lost. Side note: yesterday they were doing some work on a part of the tramway, in case that happens to you today, just keep walking following the rails, it's a 20 minute walk from the last stop where we were left yesterday. I don't know the street name, but check the hotel website. Good luck everybody!
