Sabiha Gökçen is at Pendik / Kurtköy, on the Asian side of Istanbul. Your driver meets you in arrivals and takes you across the Bosphorus to the historic peninsula, about 40 km by road — or to any hotel or address on either side of the city.
Your arrival on the Asian side and the drive across the Bosphorus into the city.
Collect your bags and come out into arrivals, where your driver meets you. The road leaves the airport for the D-100 and runs west across the Asian side towards the Bosphorus. The route we measured uses the Eurasia Tunnel; the driver picks the crossing for the traffic on the day. Without traffic that is about 45 minutes; Istanbul traffic can add a lot of time, and we plan the transfer around it.
Sabiha Gökçen is the Asian-side airport. Staying in Kadıköy or elsewhere on the Asian side? The drive does not need to cross the Bosphorus at all — give your address in the request.
Your driver meets you in arrivals and loads the bags. The route follows the Kurtköy–Pendik link road to the D-100 and heads west towards the Bosphorus. About 40 km to the old city, roughly 45 minutes without traffic.
After the crossing the route we measured follows Kennedy Caddesi into Fatih on the historic peninsula. A hotel in Beyoğlu or Taksim, in Beşiktaş or in Kadıköy is an address like any other: give it in your request.
From Sabiha Gökçen, the M4 Kadıköy – Sabiha Gökçen Airport metro line runs to Kadıköy, Havabus shuttles connect with Kadıköy and Taksim, and İETT public buses serve the airport too, among them SG-1 to Kadıköy and SG-2 to Taksim. Check the current timetable before travelling. For the European side these mean crossing the Bosphorus with your luggage. A private car suits you when you land with several cases, travel with children or as a group, or arrive late: one vehicle from arrivals to your hotel door on either side of the city.
