About this transfer

Landing on the Asian side when your accommodation is in Fatih means crossing from Asia to the European side after your flight. Arranging our Sabiha Gökçen Airport (SAW) to Legacy Ottoman Hotel Old City transfer connects both sides of Istanbul without any intermediate stops. We track your incoming flight, meet you at the arrivals exit with a personalized name board, and assist with your luggage.

Your journey covers 45 kilometres along Anadolu Otoyolu, typically taking about 56 minutes from the terminal exit to the historical peninsula. Staying on the road removes the physical effort of hauling heavy suitcases through interchanges and along rail platforms after an exhausting flight. Our driver takes you directly to the hotel entrance in Fatih, delivering you straight to the front doors without extra walking.

Public transport involves taking the M4 metro line to Ayrılık Çeşmesi, transferring to the Marmaray rail network to Sirkeci, and walking the final stretch. That combined rail route takes around 81 minutes, requiring you to manage bags and ticket gates at each station connection. With our private transfer, your group has a vehicle dedicated solely to your party from start to finish.

Our fixed pricing begins at €51 for the vehicle, which divides evenly among your travel companions rather than charging each passenger an individual fare. We monitor incoming flight schedules and include waiting time at the airport, so delays on the runway do not affect your pickup. You step into our vehicle outside the terminal and ride all the way to your destination.
