The conference will be in AKYAKA/GOKOVA. Upon request we can mail you a detailed map of Gokova (or you may see a rescalable but less detailed map at MapQuest). The following are several ways to get there:

By Plane :
Apart from THY (Turkish Airlines) and major European airlines, Delta, Northwest-KLM service Turkey. There are direct flights from either USA or Europe. If you come by plane the closest airport is DALAMAN airport (One can fly to Dalaman via Istanbul, there are even direct flights to Dalaman from some European cities).

From Dalaman airport you can take any bus going to Akyaka-Dortyol - for example THY (Turkish Airlines) bus to Marmaris (this bus is called HAVAS) - and proceed as below.

Also if you let us know your arrival time in advance the hotel personnel will meet you at the airport. If you fly to Izmir or Istanbul and want to go to Dalaman by bus, you can proceed as on the right.

By Bus :
If you come by bus, get out at DORTYOL junction, which is the crossroad of MUGLA-MARMARIS-DALAMAN-GOKOVA/AKYAKA. It is best to tell the bus driver to let you out at this junction when boarding the bus. The hotel is 4 km. away from DORTYOL. You can find a taxi at least until midnight to Hotel Yucelen. You can also call Hotel Yucelen to arrange a ride.
