Gayrettepe is an underground rapid transit station on the M2 and M11 lines of the Istanbul Metro. [3] It is located in east-central Şişli under Büyükdere Avenue just south of Levent. The M2 portion of the station opened on 16 September 2000 and is one of the original six stations of the M2 line. In 2007 a connection to the Istanbul Metrobus at Zincirlikuyu junction was built. On 29 January 2024, the Kağıthane–Gayrettepe portion of the M11 line opened, allowing passengers to go from Gayrettepe to Istanbul Airport in 30 minutes. [2] [4] With a depth of 72 meters, the M11 platform is the deepest station in the Istanbul Metro system.
