Taxi, then CAT train to the airport, and a 2 hour flight to Istanbul.
The airports were very busy, and passport control at Istanbul was manic.
We found our driver, and were delivered close to our hotel (cars not allowed down that street).
Unpacked, and went exploring for an hour.
There are over 10, 000 restaurants in Istanbul - too many to choose from, so we let trip advisor do it, and ended up at the new Hata, around the corner from Hotel Safir.
Of the 68 tv channels, we found 2 in English.
