Istanbul Airport:
The busiest airport in Istandbul is the Atatürk Airport which is 23km away from the city, on the European side of Turkey. The easiest and fastest way to get to the city is via a taxi. They operate outside of the airport 24 hours a day but they are more expensive than a bus or tram. Also make sure you agree on the price before you get in to ensure you don’t get overcharged. Havatas provide buses to the city centre and it’s a great option even if you have lots of baggage due to the large amounts of room and air-conditioning which is fitted onboard. Lastly you can get a tram directly from the airport but they are extremely busy so if you do have a lot of baggage with you this might not be the best option.
Bodrum Airport:
You’ll have several options to get to the city once your flights to Turkey have landed. The most reliable option is the Havas Airport Buses. They run around every hour and operate directly from to the centre of the city. Another option is the get a taxi from the airport however these aren’t cheap unless you can split the fare with a friend. Haggling with the driver is a must otherwise you will end up paying through the teeth. If you fly with Atlas Global then you can get free transfer to your hotel so it’s worth enquiring with them before you book your flights to Ireland.
Dalaman Airport:
Havas offer shuttle services from Dalaman Airport to areas all over Turkey making them an ideal method of transportation for a cheap price. They operate regularly and are a lot cheaper than a taxi. Once you board the bus if you tell the driver in advance then you can get off the bus at any point along the main route. You could also opt to hire a car for the duration of your holiday although you might struggle to get to grips with the Turkish roads.
