About this transfer

Landing on the Asian side when your destination sits along the Bosphorus means crossing over to the European side of Istanbul. Booking your Sabiha Gökçen Airport (SAW) to Ortaköy transfer in advance gives you a direct route across the city without waiting around the terminal. We meet you at the arrivals exit with a name board, help with your luggage, and lead you straight to the vehicle.

The drive spans 41 kilometres along the Anadolu Otoyolu, usually taking around 50 minutes when roads remain clear. Travel times fluctuate during morning peak traffic, but we track your flight status and adjust our arrival before you land. We drive you straight to your destination so you never have to haul luggage between different vehicles or stops.

Reaching Ortaköy by public transit involves four separate stages, starting on the M4 subway before changing onto the Marmaray at Ayrılık Çeşmesi. From Üsküdar you board a ferry over to Beşiktaş, followed by the 22 bus to reach the neighbourhood. That combination requires navigating multiple ticket gates, station stairs, and around 99 minutes of transit.

Public transport fares add up per person across each transfer, whereas our private vehicle starts from a flat rate of €41 for the whole group. Up to seven passengers and five bags travel together for that single price, with luggage help included at pickup. We handle the entire crossing and leave you directly at your address.
