About this transfer

Landing on the Asian side and crossing over to Şişli on the European side means crossing the city. Booking a Sabiha Gökçen Airport (SAW) to Wyndham Grand Istanbul Levent transfer puts your transport in place before you land. We meet you at the arrivals exit with a name board, help with your bags, and drive you across the Bosphorus using the Kuzey Marmara Otoyolu.

The drive covers 50 km and takes 43 minutes when the roads run normally. We track your flight, so an early arrival or a delay does not leave you waiting. Our driver takes you directly to the hotel entrance.

Public transit means starting on the M4 subway, switching to the 34G bus at Uzunçayır, and catching the M2 subway at Gayrettepe. Navigating those two changes with luggage adds up to 106 minutes of travel.

The SG-2 airport shuttle runs to Levent, but it departs on a set schedule and leaves you to walk the final stretch with your bags. With our private transfer, you secure the entire vehicle for a fixed rate of €46, dividing the cost across your party and travelling straight to the door.
