About Başakşehir
Başakşehir is a young district in the north-west of the European side, developed around planned housing projects. With wide avenues, large parks and many gated residential complexes, it is particularly popular with families. The district is home to Başakşehir Çam and Sakura City Hospital and the Başakşehir Fatih Terim Stadium, and it also includes neighbourhoods such as Kayaşehir and Bahçeşehir. Başakşehir lies relatively close to Istanbul Airport.
If you are travelling to the city hospital as a patient or companion, state in the booking notes which building or entrance you would like to be dropped at, as the campus is large. For homes inside residential complexes, simply write the complex name together with the block and flat number.
