TRANSPORTATION AND CONFERENCE VENUE

How to Get Conference Venue

Important Notes:

1- Be aware of the interchangeable use of Kocaeli and İzmit; Kocaeli is the name of the province/greater municipality, and İzmit is the name of the central town.

2-Be sure to exchange your money at the airport for the metro train and bus tickets.

Atatürk Airport – Esenler (Otogar/Bus Station) - İzmit – Umuttepe Campus
Take the metro train; the airport is the starting station, so there is only one way to go. The arrival station’s name is “Esenler/Otogar”. Esenler is the name of the location and Otogar means bus station. (Otogar metro station is the 10th station after the airport, and it will take around 25-30 minutes to get there.

At “Esenler Otogar” which is a huge international bus station, you have to find one of these two bus companies that travel to İzmit every half an hour; “İzmit Seyahat”, and “Efe Tur” (Here are some directions to find İzmit Seyahat and Efe Tur. Once you get out of the train at the Otogar station, turn right immediately, and go straight to the stairs. Get up the stairs, pass the turnpike and turn right again. You will see a little corner store/restaurant in front of you; pass that, and get out of the door you will see right there. Now you are outside. Look up towards the signboards; İzmit Seyahat and Efe Tur will be right across from there.)

Once you get on the bus, tell the service person, who will be checking the tickets, that you will go to Umuttepe campus. There will be a shuttle to Umuttepe Campus when you get off the bus in İzmit.
