Hello there. My wife and I are moving to Istanbul for my work. Starting six months extending to a year if we are happy from Brisbane Australia. My work is in yolbulan plaza kozyatagi which I believe is the Asian section Questions are many. European compound sounds ideal for my wife but how is transport to work? Compounds in Asian section?
Which side is best? Any help would be great thanks

I used to work for Dogan Holding located in Taksim on the european side and lived in the Floria district. Getting to work wasn't difficult as we had a service bus for personel transport, that took about 40 mins one-way.
Then the company moved to a larger building located in Kosuyolu on the asian side. After that the transport got difficult as it became 3 hours one-way, crossing the bridge, traffic lights, weather conditions etc.
It is important that you live close to your work place in Istanbul where getting back and forth to work can take hours everyday, if in your own vehicle also costly.

Thank you for the info. After reading many different sites. The positives and negatives of living Asian side close to work is probably getting even harder to decide. I agree live close to work. I don't like the idea of moving to such an amazing place and spending all my time traveling to work. In the Asian side near to work or the coast do you recommend compound accommodation or apartments. My concern is the safety of my wife who doesn't speak the language and definately looks aussie blonde hair Blue eyes. In your opinion will she have difficulty day tripping around? Mixing with locals as friends? We are not City folk so do like open spaces Green trees sea and some quiet? Apologies for asking what may soar dumb questions but you can only read so much and that leads to more questions. Are there any areas you would or would not recommend living. Thanks again much appreciated.
