Istanbul Airport (IST) to Marmara Forum transfer
Private door-to-door transfer · about 51 km, 44 min · one fixed price.
About this transfer
Landing at the terminal and booking an Istanbul Airport (IST) to Marmara Forum transfer takes you to the European side of the city, in Bakırköy. We meet you outside arrivals with a name board, take your luggage, and drive you straight to the entrance.
The route follows Kuzey Marmara Otoyolu for about 51 km. A private vehicle gets you directly to the doors without stops along the way, while the airport shuttle drops passengers at Merter (Kocatepe) before a final walk.
Public transit means starting on the M11, changing to the B1 Marmaray at Halkalı, and taking the A10 bus toward Fildamı Yolu. That journey includes two changes with luggage before reaching the mall area.
A private ride costs from €47 for the entire vehicle, regardless of whether you travel solo or split the cost across a family. We monitor your flight for delays, so our driver is ready at the terminal when your plane touches down.
