Istanbul Airport (IST) to Eyüpsultan transfer
Private door-to-door transfer · about 45 km, 44 min · one fixed price.
About this transfer
Landing on the European side of the city after your flight, you collect your luggage and prepare to head into Eyüpsultan. Booking an Istanbul Airport (IST) to Eyüpsultan transfer allows us to meet you in person right outside the arrivals gate with a name board. We track your flight schedule, provide luggage help at the terminal, and guide you directly to your reserved vehicle without delay.
Our route follows the D-020 road south, covering 45 kilometres from the terminal grounds into the local district streets. Under normal traffic conditions, driving straight to your door takes 44 minutes from the moment we leave the pickup area. Our private vehicle rate starts at €41, which covers your entire travel group rather than charging a separate fare for each passenger.
Reaching the district by public transport requires boarding the M11 subway to Kağıthane, changing onto the M7 towards Alibeyköy, and connecting to the 50V bus. Factoring in two transfers and walking between transit stops, that journey takes around 82 minutes from the airport. The HVL - 1 airport shuttle offers another route to Ayvansaray, though you must still manage an onward walk with your suitcases.
Choosing our private transfer eliminates the effort of carrying bags through stations, buying transit tickets, or waiting for scheduled departures. We drive you directly to your destination in one continuous trip, avoiding the physical steps involved in public transit. Our driver takes care of the whole route, ensuring you arrive comfortably and settle into your stay.
