HOMETEX Istanbul is held at the Istanbul Expo Center (IFM) near Istanbul Airport's older city gateway in Yesilkoy, with the 2027 edition expected in May. It is a specialised international trade fair for home textiles, covering curtains, upholstery, bed and bath linens, decorative fabrics and related furnishing products, drawing manufacturers, exporters, wholesalers and buyers from Europe, the Middle East, North Africa and beyond. The show fills several halls of the Istanbul Expo Center and attracts a substantial trade audience over its run, reflecting Turkey's position as a major home-textile producer. Because the Istanbul Expo Center sits close to the busy Bakirkoy/Yesilkoy district and Istanbul hosts a dense calendar of trade fairs, hotels near the venue and along the metro book out early, and near-venue rates rise as the opening approaches. Booking accommodation ahead keeps commuting short, protects a full schedule of supplier meetings, and avoids long journeys across a large, traffic-heavy city. Event Escapes shows live, bookable hotel rates around the Istanbul Expo Center, sorted by real distance from the venue so you can compare genuine proximity rather than relying on broad neighbourhood labels.

How do you get to HOMETEX Istanbul?
From Istanbul Airport (IST)
- Istanbul Airport (IST) is the main international gateway, on the European side, roughly 45-60 minutes by taxi or shuttle to the Yesilkoy/Istanbul Expo Center area depending on traffic.
- The Havaist airport bus and the M11 metro connect IST toward the city, where you can transfer toward the venue district.
- Licensed taxis and app-based rides (BiTaksi, iTaksi) are available; confirm the meter is running and allow extra time in traffic.
How do you get around during HOMETEX Istanbul?
Getting around Istanbul and to the venue
- The Istanbul Expo Center is near Bakirkoy on the European side, served by the M1 metro and nearby suburban rail, with the airport metro also reaching the area.
- Taxis and app-based rides are plentiful but Istanbul traffic is heavy; allow generous time around opening and closing.
- Buy an Istanbulkart travel card for metro, tram, bus and ferry, which is far cheaper and simpler than paying per ride.
Do you need a visa for HOMETEX Istanbul?
Entry guidance for Turkiye
- Many nationalities enter Turkiye visa-free for short stays, while others must obtain an e-visa online before travel.
- The official Turkish e-visa portal is the standard route where a visa is required; apply ahead rather than at the airport.
- Ensure your passport meets Turkiye's validity requirements, typically at least six months beyond entry.
Entry requirements change frequently; always verify the current rules with the official Turkish government or nearest embassy before booking travel.
First time at HOMETEX Istanbul?
- Confirm which halls at the Istanbul Expo Center cover your home-textile categories and plan a walking route in advance.
- May weather in Istanbul is mild but variable, so pack a light layer for moving between halls and transport.
- Get an Istanbulkart on arrival to simplify metro, tram and ferry travel across the city.
- Stay near the venue in Bakirkoy/Yesilkoy or on a metro line to avoid long cross-city commutes in traffic.
Insider tips from repeat attendees
- Arrive early to reach the busiest curtain and upholstery halls before the midday buyer peak.
- Cluster meetings by hall to avoid backtracking across the expo center during the day.
- For business dinners, the Bakirkoy waterfront and central districts offer strong restaurant choices a metro ride away.
- Avoid taxis at the exact opening and closing rush; the metro is more predictable in Istanbul's heavy traffic.
