About this transfer

When your plane lands on the European side of the city, arranging our Istanbul Airport (IST) to Uranus Istanbul Topkapi transfer ensures a direct journey into Zeytinburnu. We meet you at the arrivals gate with a personalised name board, assist with your luggage, and lead you straight to the vehicle. The drive follows the Kuzey Marmara Otoyolu across 45 kilometres of open highway before heading south.

Under typical traffic conditions, the drive from the terminal takes 45 minutes. We actively monitor your flight details from departure to touchdown, allowing our driver to adjust for schedule changes and provide free waiting time after you land. You skip the fixed timetables of public buses and depart immediately once you clear the baggage hall.

Public transport to the hotel requires taking the M11 subway to Kağıthane, switching to the B46-Topkapı-Seyrantepe bus to Cevizlibağ Köprüsü, and transferring to the A27-Yildiztabya-Topkapi bus. Managing multiple transit changes with heavy suitcases stretches the trip to 91 minutes, alongside over a kilometre of walking. While the Merkezefendi stop on the T1 line serves the local neighbourhood, getting there from the airport demands continuous line changes.

Our vehicle price begins at €41, offering a single fixed fare that your group can divide rather than paying individual ticket prices. That rate includes our meet and greet service, flight tracking, and driving you straight to the hotel doors. You step directly into our vehicle outside the terminal and arrive in Topkapı without carrying baggage between different platforms.
