| http://www.sgairport.com/havaalani/eng/start.asp is the link to the airport site for you to go through to see if they have left luggage, but I'm not hopeful and don't recall seeing any while passing through. As for a hotel, there is one that is The Marmara Pendik Residence Eski Kaynarca Str. Sahil Yolu No: 239 Pendik, 34890 Istanbul It is about 5 miles from the airport. Most good hotel reservation sites should be able to point you towards it or book direct by going to their website at: http://www.themarmarahotels.com/The-Marmara-Pendik/index.asp Otherwise you will have to catch the bus to Taksim Square and stop in a hotel in the vacinity. |

| It does have left luggage but it is very expensive. We were in the same situation and ended up hiring a car for the day and drove to the Sultan Ahmet area, had lunch and a wander round. The local drivers are absolutely mad so if you can book a guided tour as suggested above then I think that would be a better option. If you do hire a car make sure you take into consideration if it is a football day the traffic will be extra horrendous in Istanbul so give yourself plenty of time to get back to the airport. |
