Private door-to-door transfer · about 60 km, 54 min · one fixed price.
About this transfer
Landing on the Asian side and heading across to Beyoğlu means crossing continents to reach the European side. Booking our Sabiha Gökçen Airport (SAW) to Duo Galata Hotel transfer puts a driver in the arrivals hall waiting with your name board. We track your flight, handle the luggage, and drive you across the 60 km route via the Anadolu Otoyolu.
A private vehicle takes 54 minutes in typical conditions, carrying your party straight to the hotel entrance. The total booking starts from €64 for the entire vehicle, meaning larger travelling groups split one single fare between everyone.
Public transport follows a multi-step journey between the two sides of the city. You board the M4 subway at the airport terminal, switch at Ayrılık Çeşmesi to the B1 (Marmaray), and change again at Yenikapı for the M2 line to Şişhane.
Altogether, navigating the rail network requires two line changes and 563 m of walking before you reach the street outside. That entire transit trip takes about 98 minutes per person, while our direct vehicle takes you from the terminal exit straight to the lobby.
