About this transfer
When you touch down on the Asian side, getting to Fatih means traveling across the city to the European side. Booking our Sabiha Gökçen Airport (SAW) to İsta Palace Hotel transfer means your driver is waiting at arrivals with a name board. We take care of your luggage and head straight out onto the Anadolu Otoyolu.
The drive covers 58 km and typically takes about 50 minutes under normal conditions. Going by road brings you directly over to the European side without changing vehicles along the way. We track your flight details in case of delays and take you straight to the hotel door.
If you take public transport instead, the route combines the M4 metro, the B1 Marmaray line, and the T1 tram. That journey requires two changes and roughly 844 m of walking between platforms and street levels. The nearest stop to the property is Beyazıt on the T1 line, leaving a short walk to the entrance.
Our private service costs €62 for the entire vehicle rather than charging individual fares. For a family of four, that works out to €16 per passenger. We provide a fixed private ride with free waiting time included, so you arrive settled without managing multiple rail connections.
