Private door-to-door transfer · about 60 km, 55 min · one fixed price.
About this transfer
Your flight lands on the Asian side of the city, but your stay is at Art Karaköy in Beyoğlu on the European side. Booking our Sabiha Gökçen Airport (SAW) to Art Karaköy transfer takes you across the Bosphorus without dealing with connections. We meet you at the terminal exit with a name board and handle your luggage.
The route follows the Anadolu Otoyolu, covering 60 km directly to the hotel entrance. A private drive usually takes around 55 minutes, depending on the hour you land. We track your incoming flight, so our driver waits for you even when flights are delayed.
Taking public transit involves taking the M4 metro to Kadıköy and switching to the ferry across to Karaköy. That journey takes about 99 minutes and leaves you with a walk from the pier with your bags. It works well if you travel light, but changing modes takes extra time.
With us, the vehicle is reserved entirely for your group, bringing the cost down to €16 per person for a party of four. We take you straight from the terminal to the hotel door, keeping the whole trip simple from the moment you land.
