About this transfer
Landing on the Asian side and heading into Fatih means you are crossing over to the European side of the city. Booking a private Sabiha Gökçen Airport (SAW) to Kare Hotel Sultanahmet transfer ensures our driver is waiting at the terminal exit as soon as you collect your bags. The journey covers 61 kilometres along the Anadolu Otoyolu, taking you straight to the hotel door.
We track your incoming flight and provide a meet and greet service in the arrivals area with a personalised name board. The typical driving time is 53 minutes when traffic conditions are clear, with luggage assistance and free waiting time included. Our vehicle rate of €65 is fixed for your entire travelling party, with all applicable taxes and luggage help already covered.
Public transport is an alternative option, but it requires taking the M4 subway to Ayrılık Çeşmesi and transferring to the B1 Marmaray line towards Sirkeci Tren Garı. After exiting the rail network at that station, you must complete a walk through the district while managing all your luggage. This combined transit journey takes 94 minutes, whereas our direct transfer avoids multiple railway connections entirely.
Once you have checked in, the nearby Çemberlitaş stop on the T1 tram line provides convenient connections across the surrounding district. When you first arrive with your heavy travel bags, however, driving directly eliminates the physical effort of navigating train platforms. We take care of the entire cross-city route so you can travel between continents comfortably without any unnecessary delays.
