About this transfer

Landing on the Asian side when your accommodation is in Beyoğlu means travelling all the way across Istanbul to the European side of the city. Arranging our Sabiha Gökçen Airport (SAW) to Astan Residence Taksim transfer ensures our driver meets you at the arrivals exit with a personal name board as soon as you collect your bags. The route covers 62 kilometres from the terminal building into the central district.

Under normal road conditions, we drive you directly to the hotel door in roughly 55 minutes using Anadolu Otoyolu. Journey times shift throughout the day as traffic builds during peak commuting hours, especially around the major highway crossings between continents. We track your flight schedule continuously, so any delays on your incoming plane are managed automatically before you land.

Reaching the property by rail requires boarding the M4 subway, transferring to the Marmaray at Ayrılık Çeşmesi, and switching to the M2 line at Yenikapı before walking from Taksim station. The SG-2 airport shuttle stops at Abdülhak Hamit Caddesi, which still leaves a walk through local streets with heavy luggage. Choosing our service avoids multiple train changes and keeps your entire transfer in one private vehicle.

Our transfers operate at a fixed price from €65 for the private vehicle, which includes meet and greet, luggage help, and waiting time. Public transport options charge every traveller individually, whereas our vehicle rate is shared among your group. You step from the terminal exit into our vehicle and continue straight to your check-in without navigating stations.
