Istanbul Airport (IST) to Skyblue İstanbul Hotel transfer
Private door-to-door transfer · about 95 km, 76 min · one fixed price.
About this transfer
Landing on the European side and heading out to Tuzla takes you completely across the city. Booking an Istanbul Airport (IST) to Skyblue İstanbul Hotel transfer gets you met at the terminal exit with a name board, ready for the long run over to the Asian side. The drive covers 95 km along the Kuzey Marmara Otoyolu.
We track your flight for any delays, wait for you if baggage takes time, and help load your bags before setting off. The private drive gets you directly to the hotel entrance in about 76 minutes, bypassing the need to navigate connections across town.
Attempting the same journey by public transport means boarding the M11 metro and then switching between the 251, 130Ş, and 133T buses. That route requires three separate transfers with luggage in hand and totals 155 minutes of travel time. The nearest rail stop to the property is İçmeler on the Marmaray line, which still leaves a walk at the end.
Our private service takes your group straight to the door in one continuous ride. You pay one fixed price for the vehicle, which works out to €20 per person if four people travel together.
