About this transfer

Landing on the Asian side of Istanbul leaves you with a journey across the city to reach Beyoğlu on the European side. Arranging a Sabiha Gökçen Airport (SAW) to Canopy by Hilton İstanbul Taksim transfer means our driver meets you inside the arrivals hall with a name board and assists with your bags. We monitor your flight time directly and guide you across to the European side without delay.

The drive covers 62 kilometres along the Anadolu Otoyolu and typically takes 53 minutes when traffic moves at ordinary speeds. Choosing our private transfer brings you straight to the hotel entrance rather than dropping you at a central bus stop. Our fixed vehicle price starts from €65, covering your entire travel group together instead of charging individual passenger fares.

Navigating the route on public transport requires boarding the M4 metro line, switching to the Marmaray at Ayrılık Çeşmesi, and transferring to the M2 line at Yenikapı. That rail journey takes 103 minutes across the network and ends with an uphill walk from Taksim station. The SG-2 airport bus provides an alternative to Abdülhak Hamit Caddesi, but still leaves you to carry your luggage the remaining distance.

Canopy by Hilton İstanbul Taksim is located in Beyoğlu, set slightly apart from the primary transit terminals. For travellers carrying heavy bags, avoiding multiple train connections eliminates the physical effort of navigating stairs and ticket barriers between lines. We take care of the driving from the terminal exit directly to the hotel entrance so your arrival remains straightforward.
