About this transfer
Arriving on the European side places you north of the central districts, bound for the shopping venues of Sarıyer. Organizing an Istanbul Airport (IST) to Vadistanbul Alışveriş Merkezi transfer with us ensures a direct departure as soon as you clear baggage reclaim. We meet you inside the terminal with a name board, help carry your bags, and guide you straight to your waiting vehicle.
The direct road route follows the D-020 highway over 38 kilometres, reaching the complex in approximately 38 minutes. Because we monitor incoming flight details continuously, our driver accommodates unexpected flight delays and provides free waiting time at the arrivals exit. You can head straight out to the road without worrying about schedule shifts or finding a ride upon landing.
Travelling to the venue by public transport involves taking the M11 subway to Kağıthane and transferring there onto the K3 bus service. That transit combination takes around 69 minutes and requires moving luggage across platforms before walking the remaining distance from the stop. Those station transfers can prove demanding when managing multiple suitcases or travelling as a family after a flight.
Our private service offers a clear fixed rate starting from €41 for the entire vehicle rather than collecting individual fares for every passenger. We take care of the driving along the main road and deliver you directly to the doors of the shopping centre. That allows everyone in your group to travel together without dividing baggage across separate connections or vehicles.
