Istanbul Airport (IST) to Holiday Family Apart transfer
Private door-to-door transfer · about 53 km, 54 min · one fixed price.
About this transfer
Arriving on the European side after your flight, finding your way to Fatih means crossing a fair distance into historic territory. Arranging an Istanbul Airport (IST) to Holiday Family Apart transfer in advance lets you skip the navigation entirely. We meet you at the arrivals gate with a name board, help with your luggage, and drive you straight along Kuzey Marmara Otoyolu.
The journey covers 53 km and usually takes about 54 minutes in normal conditions. We monitor your flight closely, so even if your landing is delayed, our driver will be waiting right at the terminal exit. Our fixed rates start at €48 per vehicle rather than charging per passenger, which splits conveniently among groups.
Public transit is an option, though it requires taking the M11 metro, changing lines at Gayrettepe to the M2, and getting off at Vezneciler - İstanbul Üniversitesi. That route involves navigating underground transfers with heavy bags before walking the remaining stretch to the apartment.
The HVL-13 airport shuttle also serves the general area, running to Çatladıkapı (Sultanahmet). However, that stop still leaves you with an 888 m walk through the streets to reach your front door. Booking a private vehicle takes you directly to the hotel entrance with no transfers on the way.
