Istanbul is the gateway to Thrace, Bulgaria and northern Greece. We collect from your hotel, the cruise port or either airport and drive you door to door.
Edirne is about 236 km to the north-west, roughly 2h 25m of driving. Plovdiv is about 419 km and Sofia about 549 km away through the Kapıkule / Kapitan Andreevo crossing into Bulgaria; Thessaloniki is about 595 km away through the İpsala / Kipoi crossing into Greece, a long day on the road.
These figures are free-flow driving times. Istanbul traffic can add a lot of time on the way out of the city, so we plan the pickup around it, and a stop to break the journey — Edirne on the road to Bulgaria — can be added on request.
Istanbul Airport (IST) lies on the European side, about 46 km by road from the historic peninsula; Sabiha Gökçen Airport (SAW) is on the Asian side, about 40 km away. We collect at arrivals at either airport.

About 549 km through the Kapıkule / Kapitan Andreevo crossing, roughly 5h 35m of driving without breaks. Border waiting time and Istanbul traffic come on top.
Yes. The route crosses into Greece at İpsala / Kipoi: about 595 km, roughly 7 hours of driving without breaks, so it is a long day; a stop can be added on request.
A valid passport for every passenger. Turkey is outside the EU and the Schengen area, so there is full passport control on both sides; visa and entry rules depend on your nationality, so check them before you travel.
Yes, at either airport. Airport pickups include 60 minutes of free waiting, and we can drive straight from arrivals into the city or on to Bulgaria or Greece.
