About this transfer
Landing on the European side and heading out to Büyükçekmece, our Istanbul Airport (IST) to Tüyap Palas transfer takes you straight from the terminal to the hotel doors. We track your flight, wait for you at the exit gate with a name board, and help with your luggage. The drive covers 40 km along the Kuzey Marmara Otoyolu.
The journey takes 49 minutes without delays. Because the route stays outside the central bottlenecks, travel times remain consistent throughout the day, even during the evening rush. We drive you directly to the hotel entrance so you can settle in immediately.
If you choose public transport, the HVL - 2 airport shuttle runs regularly toward the Tüyap stop. It departs from Peron 8 at the terminal and takes around 90 minutes to make the trip. Once you arrive at the stop, the hotel is still 509 m away on foot.
The shuttle charges separately per person and per extra piece of luggage. With our private service, you reserve the whole vehicle for a fixed price of €41, which is shared among your group. We manage the road so you can step straight into your lobby.
