Istanbul Airport (IST) to Aqua Florya transfer
Private door-to-door transfer · about 51 km, 49 min · one fixed price.
About this transfer
Landing on the European side and heading towards the Bakırköy coast places you well to the south of the airport terminal. Our Istanbul Airport (IST) to Aqua Florya transfer meets you at the arrivals gate with a personalised name board, assists with your luggage, and leads you out to your vehicle. From there, we drive the 51 kilometres along the Kuzey Marmara Otoyolu directly to the shopping centre doors.
The drive usually takes 49 minutes under normal traffic conditions, though evening congestion can push the travel time to 67 minutes. We track your flight details continuously from takeoff to touchdown, which means your driver is already in position even if your plane lands behind schedule. You step straight out of the arrivals hall and get moving without waiting for fixed timetables.
Reaching the mall by public rail involves boarding the M11 metro line to Halkalı and switching over to the Marmaray service towards Florya Akvaryum. That route requires managing your luggage across different platforms and navigating the final walking section at the end of the line. Our private transfer takes you directly to the main entrance, avoiding line changes and multiple station ticket barriers.
Our private service starts at €47 for the entire vehicle, which makes splitting the overall expense simple when travelling with family or colleagues. A party of four pays one set vehicle rate rather than buying individual transit tickets for each separate leg. We drop you right at the doors during destination opening hours between ten in the morning and ten at night.
