Ankara
Why here
Ankara is Türkiye's administrative heart and the natural choice for conferences, public-sector meetings and companies with headquarters in the capital. Distances are short, traffic is lighter than in Istanbul and the congress hotels are built for groups of several hundred.
For culture, the Museum of Anatolian Civilizations and Anıtkabir make strong half-day programmes, and the old citadel quarter has restored houses for dinners.
Cappadocia is three hours by road, so an Ankara conference combines well with a two-night leadership extension.
Areas we work in
Çankaya and Kavaklıdere for hotels and embassies; Ulus and the citadel for heritage dinners; Söğütözü for congress venues.
