About this transfer
Landing on the Asian side and heading across the city to Zeytinburnu brings you over to the European side. Booking a Sabiha Gökçen Airport (SAW) to Zeytinburnu transfer means we meet you right at the terminal exit with a name board, help with your luggage, and drive you straight to your destination.
The route follows the Anadolu Otoyolu across Istanbul, covering a distance of 47 km. A typical drive takes around 52 minutes, though road conditions change depending on the hour you land.
Reaching the district by rail requires boarding the M4 at the terminal, changing at Ayrılık Çeşmesi onto the B1 Marmaray line, and switching once more to a local bus. That journey involves two transfers, some walking between platforms with your luggage, and takes about 97 minutes.
With our private transfer, you skip the connections entirely. Our driver tracks your flight for any delays, provides free waiting time at arrivals, and takes your group directly to the door for a fixed vehicle rate of €43.
