About this transfer
Landing on the Asian side and planning your Sabiha Gökçen Airport (SAW) to Stories of Galata transfer brings you across to the European side, deep into Beyoğlu. The journey covers 61 km along the Anadolu Otoyolu. We meet you at the terminal exit with a name board and take care of your bags before setting off.
A private drive takes you straight to the hotel door without changes. We track your flight for delays and include waiting time at arrivals. The run normally takes about 56 minutes, avoiding the need to haul luggage through unfamiliar connections.
Public transport requires boarding the M4 subway, changing to the B1 (Marmaray) at Ayrılık Çeşmesi, and switching again to the T1 tram at Gülhane. That rail route finishes at Tophane, leaving a walk of 788 m to the address. Between transfers and station platforms, transit totals around 101 minutes.
Our private ride offers a fixed price for the whole vehicle, making the cost split easily among everyone in your group. We manage the drive across the city while you focus on arriving at your stay.
