About this transfer
Landing on the European side and heading toward Beşiktaş puts you along the Bosphorus corridor, about 47 km from the terminal. Booking an Istanbul Airport (IST) to Beşiktaş transfer with us means our driver greets you at the gate with a name board and takes you straight to the door.
The drive runs along the D-020 and usually takes 50 minutes, depending on the time of day. We track your flight in real time and include waiting time, so delays on the runway will not leave you stranded.
Public transit requires riding the M11 to Gayrettepe before transferring to a local bus toward your stop. That route involves several stairs, ticket gates, and a walk of over a kilometre between connections.
The HVL - 9 airport shuttle runs from Peron 16 to Beşiktaş Meydan every day. That option charges separate fares for passengers and luggage, whereas our private vehicle offers a fixed price from €43 for the whole group.
