Private door-to-door transfer · about 79 km, 74 min · one fixed price.
About this transfer
Landing on the European side and heading to Kartal means crossing over to the Asian side of the city. Our Istanbul Airport (IST) to The Grand Mira Hotel transfer takes you the entire 79 km without any vehicle changes. We meet you at the terminal exit with a name board, help with your luggage, and head straight out onto the D-020.
Because the hotel sits across the city, the drive generally takes 74 minutes under normal conditions. We track your flight to adjust for any landing delays, and waiting time is included if your flight arrives late. From the airport doors, we drive you directly to the hotel entrance so you do not have to haul suitcases across platforms.
Public transport requires boarding the M11 subway, transferring at Zincirlikuyu to the 34AS bus, and switching again at Uzunçayır Metrobüs to the 16A bus. That route takes around 125 minutes and leaves you with a walk from the Üsküdar Caddesi stop.
While public transit charges TRY 188 per person, our private transfer starts at a fixed €69 for the entire vehicle. That flat price splits evenly between everyone travelling in your party, with taxes and meet-and-greet service included in the quote.
