Private door-to-door transfer · about 62 km, 57 min · one fixed price.
About this transfer
Landing on the European side and arranging an Istanbul Airport (IST) to Byotell transfer means crossing over to Kadıköy on the Asian side. The route covers 62 kilometres along the O-2, taking you right out of the airport corridor and across the city. We meet you outside arrivals with a name board, assist with your bags, and drive straight to the hotel.
A private vehicle takes you door to door in 57 minutes under typical driving conditions. We track your flight as you fly, so our driver waits for you even when inbound flights run behind schedule. There are no stops along the way and no need to carry luggage between connections.
Public transport requires boarding the M11 subway from the terminal to Gayrettepe, walking to Köprülü Kavşak, and catching the 251 bus to Kozyatağı Metro. That trip involves a transfer, walking with luggage, and roughly 89 minutes of travel time before reaching the station area. From there, the entrance to the hotel sits a short walk away.
Our private transfer provides a single vehicle for your party at a fixed rate of €55, which splits evenly among those travelling together. Public transit charges a separate fare of TRY 166 per person for each passenger on board. Choosing a private drive gets your group straight to the front desk without changing vehicles.
