Istanbul Airport (IST) to Continental Hotel Pera transfer
Private door-to-door transfer · about 50 km, 47 min · one fixed price.
About this transfer
Landing on the European side of the city brings you roughly 50 kilometres from your accommodation in Beyoğlu. Booking our Istanbul Airport (IST) to Continental Hotel Pera transfer means someone is waiting for you at the arrivals exit with your name on a board. From the terminal, we drive you directly onto the D-020 and handle the route straight to the hotel entrance.
The private drive usually takes 47 minutes, depending on the time of day. We track your flight as you travel, so our driver is ready at the terminal whenever your plane touches down.
Public transport links the airport to this part of the city via the M11 metro line, where you change at Gayrettepe to reach the M2 line toward Şişhane - Zemin İstanbul. Taking the rail network involves carrying your luggage through the transfer and walking the final stretch to the hotel. The HVL-13 airport shuttle also runs regular departures, dropping passengers at Şişhane 6 before a short walk.
Choosing our private vehicle gives your group a fixed rate starting from €46, covering the entire car rather than charging per person or per bag. Our driver helps with your luggage at the terminal curb and brings you straight to the door of Continental Hotel Pera without extra stops.
