Sabiha Gökçen Airport (SAW) to Rixos Tersane Istanbul transfer
Private door-to-door transfer · about 47 km, 55 min · one fixed price.
About this transfer
After landing on the Asian side of the city, arranging your Sabiha Gökçen Airport (SAW) to Rixos Tersane Istanbul transfer takes you across the water into the Beyoğlu district on the European side. We meet you in the terminal with a name board, assist with your bags, and lead you straight out to the waiting vehicle. The journey follows Anadolu Otoyolu across a distance of 47 kilometres to your destination.
Under normal traffic conditions, the drive takes around 55 minutes from the moment you leave the airport curb. We track your flight in real time so our driver is ready when you arrive, even if your flight lands earlier or later than planned. That includes complimentary waiting time at the airport, so you never feel rushed through passport control or baggage claim.
Public transit between the two locations requires multiple changes across different systems rather than a direct connection. You must take the M4 subway to Ayrılık Çeşmesi, change to the B1 Marmaray rail line to cross the strait, and then switch to the 50E bus toward Deniz Hastanesi. Factoring in the connections and the final walk, that route typically takes 110 minutes.
Our private transfer eliminates that complexity by carrying you and your luggage directly to the hotel doors in one continuous ride. One fixed vehicle rate starting at €53 covers the whole party, including all taxes, flight tracking, and personal assistance from your driver. We drop you right at the entrance so you can check in and settle into your room without delay.
