Guys,
I dont want you to get worried. I ve lived 5 years in Amsterdam Centrum. Been all over Europe. Istanbul is the best city in the world, still. you will have great time.
I am an academican (finance), an expert for the court of law, and ex banker. So my job is analysing risks. I see things before it happens :)))
So,
- Anywhere in the Asian side ( 100% safe) (many of you booked there, i ve been mailing with them)
- Anywhere in Besiktas region (100% safe)
- Maslak region / business center (100% safe)
- ı ve been mailing with some fans. they booked at Florya region (100% safe) / a little out of city but great place

ı jjust have doubts about that Fatih region. i wanna share my doubts with you

cheers, any further advise, mail me...

Taksim is ok. demographincs of taksim changed since 2012-13. the best place in istanbul was taksim (in90s to 2010). for night life, people, rock n roll. not anymore. too many arabic tourists. only arabic tourists.
but taksim is safe i can say, but... taksim's branch roads (by-streets) was always dangerous; esp at night. i ve been robbed a few times.
So, for hotel, taksim is ok, but use the main road only (Istiklal Street); be carefull at night.
there is ''nevizade street'' (bars streets- one of the best / GS fans street), for pubs. still good. but come to Besiktas or Kadıkoy for pubs. I will write a long mail next week or before the game about those issues.
 
Anyone have any info on what time you have to be at the airport before boarding an internal flight please, we are booking Dalaman / saw cheers in advance
 
Looking at gatwick to Antalya with an internal to istanbul flying Friday night get there Saturday morning. Find a cheap hotel for the saturday night Fly back Sunday night get back Monday morning.

Currently less than £300 then add in transport to and from gatwick and a hotel and its probably doable for 400 all in. Basically 2 solid days of traveling and waiting around but seems to be the cheapest option right now.
