Ataşehir is a landlocked district on Istanbul's Asian side, created in 2008, bordered by Ümraniye to the north, Sancaktepe to the east, Maltepe to the south-east, Üsküdar to the west and Kadıköy to the south-west, sitting where the O-2 and O-4 motorways meet. Its average elevation is 110 metres and more than 400,000 people live across its 17 neighbourhoods. The district splits clearly in two: older residential quarters to the east, and the planned West Ataşehir to the west, a skyline of towers, residences and office blocks. The Metropol Istanbul towers, among the tallest buildings in Turkey, stand here, along with Fenerbahçe's basketball venue Ülker Sports Arena, Yeditepe University and the Ataşehir Golf Club; the Istanbul Financial Center, where the state banks moved their head offices, rises at the northern edge of the same area. Most people who come to Ataşehir come for business — there is no historic draw here.

Ataşehir is 61 km from Istanbul Airport, about 57 minutes. The drive starts on the European side and crosses the Bosphorus, so bridge traffic feeds straight into your arrival time; on weekdays the crossings and the E-5 and TEM approaches back up during the morning and evening peaks. If your flight lands at Sabiha Gökçen the picture reverses: both points are on the Asian side, the trip is markedly shorter and no Bosphorus crossing is involved.

The difficulty on arrival is not the streets but the address. In West Ataşehir buildings are known by tower, plaza or residence name rather than street number, the towers look alike from outside, and a single complex often contains several blocks. Putting the plaza or complex name, the block letter and the floor or flat number into your booking makes the drop-off much faster. Driving itself is straightforward: the boulevards are wide, entrances face the main axes, and stopping briefly is not the impossibility it is in the historic quarters. One caveat — some residences and plazas will not let a visitor's car past the barrier, in which case the drop-off point is the main entrance rather than the underground car park.
