Sabiha Gökçen Airport (SAW) to AKKA Hotels Lush transfer
Private door-to-door transfer · about 61 km, 54 min · one fixed price.
About this transfer
Landing on the Asian side and heading into Beyoğlu means crossing the city from east to west. Booking our Sabiha Gökçen Airport (SAW) to AKKA Hotels Lush transfer takes you straight from the terminal onto the European side. We meet you at the arrivals exit with a name board, assist with your bags, and drive you directly to the hotel door.
The drive follows the Anadolu Otoyolu and covers 61 km, usually taking about 54 minutes. We track your flight beforehand, so our driver waits for you even when your arrival is delayed. Traffic varies across the day, but a private ride keeps the entire journey in one vehicle without intermediate stops.
Public transit takes another path entirely. Reaching the hotel by rail requires taking the M4 metro, transferring at Ayrılık Çeşmesi to the Marmaray, and changing again at Yenikapı for the M2 line to Taksim. Navigating two rail transfers with luggage adds extra walking at every station, turning the journey into 101 minutes before you reach the street.
The SG-2 airport shuttle is an alternative option, though it drops passengers at Abdülhak Hamit Caddesi. From there, you still have to walk the remaining distance to the hotel with your bags. Reserving a private vehicle gives your group a fixed rate of €65 for the car, bringing everyone together from the airport exit straight to the check-in desk.
