Thank you for the directions. Roughly how long does this journey (tram -> kabatas, bus -> besiktas, walk -> university) take? **********************************************************************
Tram-> Kabatas around max. 10-15 minutes Bus-> Besiktas the distance between Kabatas and Besiktas is very short but sometimes it can be a terrible traffic so it depends of the traffic but it takes max. 5 minutes normally. Walk-> Unv. it is very very close. It takes 1 minutes by crawling. You can check the photo gallery of Bahcesehir Unv. It may give you an idea where the unv. is http://adayogr.bahcesehir.edu.tr/fakulte/fotogaleri Especially those photos: http://adayogr.bahcesehir.edu.tr/public/Photoweb/images/Bahcesehirde%20_kis.jpg http://adayogr.bahcesehir.edu.tr/public/Photoweb/images/Bahcesehirde%20_kis2.jpg My volunteer team and I will help you about your issues.
