About this transfer
Landing on the Asian side and heading into Beyoğlu places your destination across the city on the European side. Arranging your Sabiha Gökçen Airport (SAW) to Aloft by Marriott Istanbul Karakoy transfer in advance ensures we meet you right at the arrivals exit with a personal name board. From the terminal exit, our driver assists with all your luggage and guides you directly to your reserved private vehicle.
Following the Anadolu Otoyolu, the journey spans 60 kilometres and typically takes around 53 minutes under standard driving conditions. We track your flight schedule in real time, meaning our driver waits for you outside the baggage hall even if your flight lands behind schedule. You travel directly to your destination without sharing the car or stopping for other passengers along the route.
Navigating between the airport and the hotel by public rail requires boarding the M4 metro line, changing to the Marmaray at Ayrılık Çeşmesi, and transferring once more to the T1 tram at Sirkeci. This multi-line transit connection totals roughly 102 minutes of travel time and concludes with a walk from the Karaköy stop with your bags. Managing several train platforms and stairways with heavy luggage adds considerable effort to your journey.
Our private transfer provides a fixed vehicle price from €64, which divides evenly across all the passengers travelling together in your group. We drive you straight to the hotel doors, keeping your crossing between continents simple, comfortable, and direct from the moment you leave the arrivals terminal.
