About Arnavutköy: Home of Istanbul Airport

Arnavutköy is a large district in the European side of Istanbul, and it holds a unique distinction: Istanbul Airport (IST) itself is located within its borders. With a coastline on the Black Sea and a population of around 250,000, Arnavutköy became an official district only in 2009, but its history stretches back much further — the area was once known as a small Greek ("Rum") village, later referred to as "Arnaout Kevi" in 19th-century records, before taking its modern name.

Bordered by Eyüpsultan to the east, Çatalca to the west, Büyükçekmece to the south and the Black Sea to the north, Arnavutköy is one of Istanbul's largest districts by land area. Since the opening of Istanbul Airport, the district has grown rapidly, and it now hosts one of the highest concentrations of airport hotels anywhere in the city.

Hotels Near Istanbul Airport in Arnavutköy

Because the airport sits directly inside Arnavutköy, the district is packed with hotels built specifically for transit passengers and short stays — from budget airport suites to comfortable mid-range hotels with free shuttle access. Popular areas for airport hotels include Tayakadın and Karaburun, both just minutes from the terminal. If you're arriving late at night or have an early morning flight, staying in Arnavutköy means you can reach the terminal in under 10 minutes instead of facing Istanbul's city-center traffic.

What Else Is in Arnavutköy?

Beyond the airport, Arnavutköy has a quieter, more natural side. The district is home to several lakes — Durusu (Terkos), Küçükçekmece and Büyükçekmece — along with popular picnic and nature areas such as Durusu, Taşoluk, Tayakadın and Boğazköy. Its Black Sea coastline, including the beach at Karaburun, is a favorite for locals looking to escape the city on weekends.
