About this transfer
Landing on the Asian side and heading toward Sarıyer brings you across the city to the European side. If you arrange a Sabiha Gökçen Airport (SAW) to Sarıyer transfer, we meet you at the arrivals exit with your name on a board. From the terminal, we load your luggage and drive you across the Bosphorus via the Kuzey Marmara Otoyolu directly to your door.
Covering the 61 km distance by road takes 55 minutes in normal conditions. We track your incoming flight, so our driver waits for you even if the plane lands behind schedule. You step straight into the vehicle without searching for connections.
Traveling by public transit requires boarding the M4 subway to Kozyatağı, changing to the 500T bus toward 4.Levent, and switching again to the 59RS bus to reach Sarıyer Merkez. That trip involves two vehicle changes and takes 140 minutes with your bags in hand.
Our private ride costs €55 for the vehicle, which splits down if you travel as a group. We handle the driving across continents so you reach your destination in one continuous journey.
