About this transfer

Landing on the Asian side and heading toward Beşiktaş puts you on a journey over to the European side. Arranging your Sabiha Gökçen Airport (SAW) to Le Meridien Istanbul Etiler transfer with us means our driver greets you at the terminal exit with a name board. We track your flight, handle your luggage, and drive you straight to the hotel.

The route covers 71 km, taking the Kuzey Marmara Otoyolu across the city. With clear roads, the private drive takes around 37 minutes, delivering you directly to the hotel entrance.

Reaching the property by public transit requires three separate connections. The journey starts on the M4 subway to Ünalan, continues on the 34G bus to Zincirlikuyu, and finishes on the 58N bus toward Narin Sitesi before a walk to the lobby. That route takes 108 minutes in total.

Our private ride costs a flat €72 for the entire vehicle, regardless of whether you travel solo or share the space with family. We wait for you if your flight is delayed and drive you without intermediate stops.
