About this transfer

Landing on the Asian side puts you roughly 36 kilometres east of the central waterfront. If you arrange a Sabiha Gökçen Airport (SAW) to Kadıköy transfer with us, our driver meets you right at the arrivals exit holding a name board. We help carry your luggage from the moment you step out and guide you directly to your reserved vehicle.

The drive follows Anadolu Otoyolu and typically takes about 40 minutes under regular traffic conditions. Choosing our private transfer brings you directly to your door, avoiding the physical effort of managing bags through public stops or coordinating additional connections. We also track your flight status automatically, so our driver is ready outside even when your plane experiences unexpected arrival delays.

Alternative transport options link the terminal directly with the district centre. The M4 subway line runs straight through without transfers, while the SG-1 airport shuttle operates scheduled departures throughout the day and late into the night. Both shared options terminate near the coastal piers, leaving you to finish the trip on foot or board local public transit with your luggage.

Public transit and airport shuttles sell individual tickets per person, while our private service begins at a single fixed rate of €41. When travelling as a family or small group, this vehicle price is split among all passengers on board. We manage your entire journey from the terminal doors straight to the hotel entrance so your group stays together.
