Transportation:
To go there with a
guide, Prof. Safak Ural recommends that we meet at 8.00am on
August 8 and 9 at the main entrance of Istanbul University
(Beyazet Mosque or Veniceriler Street) and go together to
Kultur University.
One can take the metro (underground)
to the station of Ataköy-Sirinevler,
from which Kultur University is a 5 minutes walk.
Or one can take bus number
#37B or bus #61B and get off at Sirinevler or Yenibosna,
just before the airport. Kultur University is between these
two stops.
A “smart ticket” (“akbil”), good for tram, buses, and
ferryies, is much more economical.
