For two and a half weeks at the end of summer 2026, Istanbul becomes a centre of European volleyball. With Turkey's women's team — the famous "Sultans of the Net" — defending their European crown on home soil, the Sinan Erdem Dome will be one of the loudest arenas in the sport. If you're travelling in for the matches, here's how to reach the venue, where to stay, and how to handle match-night transport when thousands of fans move at once.
Getting to the Sinan Erdem Dome
The arena sits in Ataköy on the European side, near the Marmara coast. Here's how the options compare on a busy match night:
Where to Stay for EuroVolley
Bakırköy / Ataköy (near the venue). Most convenient for matches — walkable or a short ride to the dome, with marina dining and the coastal promenade. Good for fans attending multiple sessions.
Taksim / Beyoğlu (nightlife & central). Best for combining matches with Istanbul's restaurants and bars; ~12 km to the arena, easy with a pre-booked transfer.
Sultanahmet (sightseeing base). Ideal if you're pairing the tournament with the historic peninsula; ~15 km to the dome.
