About this transfer

Landing on the European side and arranging an Istanbul Airport (IST) to Hilltown transfer takes you across the city to the Asian side district of Maltepe. We meet you directly at the arrivals gate with a personalized name board, take care of your heavy bags, and guide you straight to your waiting vehicle. The journey covers 66 km along the O-2 motorway, heading through the outer transit corridors toward your destination.

Travelling between two continents involves crossing major thoroughfares where traffic flow varies substantially over the course of the day. When highway conditions remain clear, our driver reaches the shopping center directly in 62 minutes. Because we monitor incoming flight schedules in real time, our driver adjusts your pickup schedule immediately if your flight experiences an unexpected delay.

Taking public transit requires boarding the M11 subway line to Gayrettepe and transferring onto the 251 bus toward Kadir Has Anadolu Lisesi. That journey requires managing luggage across platforms, waiting between connections, and totals 101 minutes before completing the final walk on foot. For visitors carrying several bags, direct road transport eliminates the physical effort of navigating transit stations.

Our private service offers bookings from €59 for the whole vehicle rather than charging separate transit fares for each passenger. That single fixed price covers up to seven passengers, so a family or a group of four splits one predictable total across the entire party. Our driver manages navigation all the way to Maltepe so you travel without line changes after landing.
