Sabiha Gökçen Airport (SAW) to Swissôtel The Bosphorus - İstanbul transfer
Private door-to-door transfer · about 41 km, 51 min · one fixed price.
About this transfer
Landing on the Asian side puts you on the opposite bank of the Bosphorus from your destination in Beşiktaş. Booking a private Sabiha Gökçen Airport (SAW) to Swissôtel The Bosphorus - İstanbul transfer ensures our driver greets you in the arrivals hall with a name board. From the terminal exit, the route covers 41 kilometres along the Anadolu Otoyolu before crossing over to the European side.
When traffic along the motorway runs smoothly, our direct drive brings you to the property in about 51 minutes. We monitor your flight schedule in case of delays, take care of your bags at the terminal, and drive you straight to the hotel entrance. Our fixed private rate starts at €41 for the entire vehicle, allowing your group to travel together without paying per seat.
Public transport requires taking the M4 subway for sixteen stops to Kozyatağı and transferring to the 129T bus toward Beşiktaş Stadyumu. That multi-step journey takes around 105 minutes and leaves you with an uphill walk to the hotel gates. The SG-2 airport shuttle provides another option toward the area, though its stop at Abdülhak Hamit Caddesi still leaves a significant distance to cover.
Carrying heavy luggage between subway platforms, municipal bus stops, or distant airport shuttle drop-offs adds physical strain after a flight. We eliminate the need for transfers and route navigation across unfamiliar streets by offering a direct door-to-door service. Our private vehicle takes your entire travel group and all your bags from the terminal exit straight to the lobby.
