Private door-to-door transfer · about 54 km, 49 min · one fixed price.
About this transfer
When you land on the European side of the city, booking an Istanbul Airport (IST) to Sheraton Istanbul Ataköy Hotel transfer gives you a direct route south to the district of Bakırköy. The journey covers 54 kilometres along the Kuzey Marmara Otoyolu, leading smoothly toward the Marmara coast. We greet you in the arrivals hall with a name board and help carry your luggage out to the vehicle.
We track your incoming flight for any unexpected delays and provide free waiting time, ensuring you have plenty of time to clear passport control and collect your luggage. The private drive typically takes 49 minutes, dropping you off directly at the hotel entrance. Our vehicle pricing starts from €49, which covers the entire car rather than charging each passenger an individual fare.
Public transport is also an option from the station beneath the terminal, though reaching this part of Bakırköy involves multiple stages. Boarding the M11 subway to Halkalı and transferring onto the BN1 bus extends the journey to 97 minutes, followed by a walk to the property. The HVL-4 airport shuttle provides another alternative to Bakırköy İdo, where you must still arrange separate travel to the hotel.
Navigating public transit transfers with heavy luggage can be challenging after a flight. Our private transfer removes those intermediate connections, giving your travel group personal space and a dedicated driver from the moment you exit the terminal. We handle the driving across the city so you can arrive comfortably at your destination.
