From Sultanahmet and the Old City

Take the T1 tram from Sultanahmet two stops to Sirkeci, or walk down through Gülhane. At Sirkeci, go down to the Marmaray platforms and take a train towards Halkalı. Get off at Kazlıçeşme, two stops later (Sirkeci → Yenikapı → Kazlıçeşme).

From Taksim, Şişli or Galata

From Taksim or Şişli, take the M2 metro south to Yenikapı, the last stop, and change to Marmaray towards Halkalı for one stop to Kazlıçeşme. From Galata or Karaköy, the T1 tram to Sirkeci and then Marmaray is usually simpler.

From Kadıköy, Üsküdar and the Asian side

Marmaray runs under the Bosphorus, so you do not need a ferry. From Üsküdar, board Marmaray towards Halkalı and stay on to Kazlıçeşme. From Kadıköy, take the M4 metro one stop to Ayrılık Çeşmesi and change to Marmaray there.

From Bakırköy, Ataköy and the western suburbs

Take Marmaray towards Gebze. Kazlıçeşme comes right after Zeytinburnu station.

From Istanbul Airport (IST)

Follow the signs to the M11 metro and take a train towards Halkalı to the end of the line. At Halkalı, change to Marmaray towards Gebze and ride to Kazlıçeşme. If you are travelling with luggage, a taxi straight to the salon is easier.

From Sabiha Gökçen Airport (SAW)

Take the M4 metro from the airport towards Kadıköy and get off at Ayrılık Çeşmesi. Change to Marmaray towards Halkalı; the train crosses under the Bosphorus and stops at Kazlıçeşme.
