The shortest and
unforgettable time the passenger can have between the flights, walking
round the Istanbul Ataturk Airport's free shop area. The
modern airport is new built and answers the demands
of all international standards, and it is recognized to be one of the best
in Europe with its lovely
cafeterias, launches and famous world known collections shops. For those
passengers who have to stay in transit more then eight hours but less then
24 and do not need visas to
go outside the airport, Turkish Airlines offer hotel accommodation with
free transportation to and from the airport. The majority
of the passengers try to gain the advantage of
being in transit by getting the opportunity to visit two counties during
one trip and hurry to make shopping
or go sightseeing around the historical and cultural
center of Istanbul.
Moreover, Turkey do not
request visas from citizens of many European, CIS and other countries, and
in case it does the passengers can easily get them
upon their arrival to Istanbul.
