Corporate Driver in Ataşehir and the Financial Centre
A corporate driver in Ataşehir serves the Istanbul Financial Centre, the bank headquarters and the office towers of the Asian side. Roadshows and banking visits increasingly end up here, often on the same day as meetings in Levent. That makes the Bosphorus crossing the most important decision of the day, so it is worth having someone plan it.
How Should a Day Split Between Levent and Ataşehir?
Put the crossing in the middle of the day, not at the end of it. A meeting in Levent in the morning and Ataşehir after lunch usually works. The opposite order in the evening, heading to the Asian side at the end of the working day, is the slowest thing you can do in Istanbul.
Your driver will choose between the two bridges and the road tunnel according to the traffic that day. All tolls are in the rate, so the choice never changes the price.
Where Do Days in This District Usually Go?
- Bank and regulator headquarters in the Financial Centre
- Office towers in Ataşehir and around the motorway
- Large hospitals on the Asian side
- Lunch on Bağdat Avenue or in Kadıköy
- Sabiha Gökçen Airport for a departure from the Asian side
Is It Better to Stay on the Asian Side?
If most of your meetings are here, yes. There are good hotels in Ataşehir and Kozyatağı, and you will avoid the bridge altogether. If you only have one meeting here, stay where the rest of your programme is, and let your driver handle the crossing. Tell us your schedule, and we will say what we would do.
