About this transfer
Landing on the Asian side and booking our Sabiha Gökçen Airport (SAW) to Ramada Encore by Wyndham Istanbul Arnavutkoy transfer means crossing the city to Arnavutköy on the European side. We meet you at the arrivals exit with your name on a board and take care of your luggage. The drive covers 79 km along the Kuzey Marmara Otoyolu.
Heading directly to the hotel takes around 61 minutes under normal conditions. We track your flight as you travel, so our driver waits for you even when your arrival is delayed. From the terminal curb, we take you straight to the hotel doors without intermediate stops.
Public transit across this distance requires boarding the M4 subway, the 34AS bus, the M11 subway, and finally the 36D bus. Following those connections through Ünalan, Uzunçayır, Gayrettepe, and Arnavutköy Şehir Parkı adds up to 165 minutes of travel time. You also walk over a kilometre between the various stops and the final address in Karlıbayır.
Our private ride starts at €79 for the entire vehicle, which splits among the group. With four passengers travelling together, the cost works out to €20 per person. We handle the driving and the luggage so you can complete the cross-city trip in one seat.
