About this transfer
Landing on the Asian side and planning a Sabiha Gökçen Airport (SAW) to Ataköy transfer takes you across Istanbul to the European side. We meet you at the arrivals gate with a name board and take care of your luggage. The drive covers 53 km via Anadolu Otoyolu.
Crossing between continents can mean very different travel times depending on when you land. The journey takes around 58 minutes under typical conditions, though early departures move significantly faster than evening rush hours. We track your flight beforehand so your driver is already outside when your plane touches down.
Public transit requires riding the M4 subway to Ayrılık Çeşmesi and switching to the B1 Marmaray line toward Ataköy. That journey takes 101 minutes across both rail networks before you reach the station. From there, reaching your final destination still requires walking with your bags.
Choosing our private drive takes you directly to your door in one continuous trip. A single fixed booking covers everyone traveling together, keeping group arrivals simple after a long flight.
