Izmir offers a variety of hotels in different categories, and most of them are conveniently located within walking distance to the hospital. In this digital age, many of our patients prefer to arrange their own transfers and accommodations. However, we are always here to assist and provide any necessary help. Even if you make your hotel reservation independently, we offer free transfers between city hotels and the hospital for your convenience.

A noteworthy detail that might capture your interest if you find yourself with some spare time: Approximately 400m from the hospital lies a newly established museum complex. You can explore more about it on their website: https://izmirkultursanatfabrikasi.gov.tr/en/. Within this complex, you’ll find an archaeological museum, an arts museum, and a library. Additionally, there are two inviting cafes where you can unwind and enjoy light refreshments.
