About this transfer

Landing on the Asian side after your flight, you still need to travel across the city to reach Fatih on the European side. Arranging our Sabiha Gökçen Airport (SAW) to Sura Hagia Sophia Hotel transfer ensures a driver is waiting the moment you exit the baggage reclaim area. We welcome you with a personalized name board, help load all your luggage, and guide you directly to your waiting vehicle.

The journey covers 46 kilometres along the Anadolu Otoyolu and takes about 56 minutes when roads remain clear. We monitor your flight schedule continuously so that any unexpected flight delays are accounted for before you step out. Once on the road, our driver handles the entire route across town while you prepare for your stay.

Public transport between the airport and the district requires boarding the M4 metro line and changing trains once at Ayrılık Çeşmesi to connect with the B1 (Marmaray) rail line. That connection drops you at Sirkeci Tren Garı, leaving you with 930 m of walking while wheeling your suitcases. Although the local T1 tram stop at Sultanahmet is close to the property, managing rail platforms and ticket gates takes considerable extra effort.

Our private service sets a single fixed price of €52 for your entire group rather than charging separate individual passenger fares. You avoid transit interchanges, skip dragging heavy bags across uneven pavements, and get driven directly to the front entrance. We take you straight from the terminal curb to the hotel lobby without intermediate stops or route deviations.
