About this transfer
Landing on Istanbul's Asian side and heading over to Bakırköy on the European side means travelling across the entire city. Booking our Sabiha Gökçen Airport (SAW) to Bakırköy transfer gives you a direct vehicle from the terminal exit straight along the Anadolu Otoyolu. We meet you at the arrivals gate holding a name board, help load your bags, and get you moving without delay.
Under clear road conditions the drive takes 56 minutes, though evening peak hours can push the journey up to 86 minutes. We monitor your flight details continuously, which means your driver is ready at the terminal when you touch down regardless of landing delays. The vehicle is reserved entirely for you and your group, with free waiting time included at the pickup area.
Reaching the district by rail requires boarding the M4 metro line at the airport, travelling twenty-one stops to Ayrılık Çeşmesi, and changing to the Marmaray line. That public route totals 91 minutes before dropping you at Bakırköy station, leaving a walk to your hotel. Moving luggage through stations, platforms, and interchanges can make the transit trip considerably more demanding.
Our private transfer offers a single set price of €46 for the entire vehicle, which divides among your passengers rather than charging individual tickets. Our driver takes care of the whole route across the city and delivers you directly to your destination door. You bypass the connection points and arrive settled at your accommodation.
