About this transfer
Landing on the Asian side and heading into Fatih puts you on the European side of Istanbul. Arranging a Sabiha Gökçen Airport (SAW) to Avicenna Hotel transfer gets you out of the terminal quickly and onto the road. We meet you at the arrivals exit with a name board and handle your luggage.
The route follows the Anadolu Otoyolu across the city, covering 61 km from terminal to hotel. Typical driving conditions get you there in about 54 minutes, taking you straight to the entrance. At the quietest hours, the trip drops down to 40 minutes.
Public transport requires using the M4 metro line and switching to the B1 Marmaray line at Ayrılık Çeşmesi. That connection gets you across the water toward Sirkeci Tren Garı, taking 94 minutes overall. It also leaves over a kilometre of walking through city streets with your bags.
Choosing a private drive means direct door-to-door transport without changing rail lines or managing luggage on foot. We track your flight for any schedule adjustments and include free waiting time at the airport. You step straight into the vehicle and head across town without extra stops.
