Istanbul Airport (IST) to Holiday Inn Istanbul - Kadikoy transfer
Private door-to-door transfer · about 57 km, 56 min · one fixed price.
About this transfer
Arriving after your flight leaves you on the European side of the city, whereas your hotel sits across the water in Kadıköy. Arranging an Istanbul Airport (IST) to Holiday Inn Istanbul - Kadikoy transfer ensures that we meet you at the arrivals gate with a name board and guide you to your waiting vehicle. We take care of your luggage and head directly toward the Asian side.
The drive runs along the D-020 and covers 57 kilometres between the terminal and your hotel. When traffic is light, the route takes around 56 minutes straight to the front door. Travelling in peak evening hours adds time to the crossing, but our driver manages the route so you do not have to navigate unfamiliar roads.
By contrast, public transit involves taking the M11 subway to Gayrettepe and making a transfer at Zincirlikuyu onto the 34AS bus. That service brings you to Söğütlüçeşme, which still leaves a walk of over one kilometre to the hotel entrance. The whole trip on public transport takes about 92 minutes with multiple transfers and walking with heavy bags.
The HVL - 6 airport shuttle provides another option, running to Acıbadem Metro where passengers must still find local transport for the final stretch. Shuttle tickets are charged per passenger with extra fees per bag, whereas our private transfer provides a single vehicle for your entire party. We track your flight for delays, meet you when you land, and take you directly to check-in.
