About this transfer
Landing on the Asian side and planning your Sabiha Gökçen Airport (SAW) to The Marmara Taksim transfer means travelling across to the European side into Beyoğlu. The journey covers 42 km along the Anadolu Otoyolu. We meet you outside the terminal with a name board, assist with your luggage, and drive you directly to the hotel entrance.
When the roads are clear, the drive takes 54 minutes. Travel during peak morning hours around 08:00, however, and the trip extends to 75 minutes. Our service tracks your flight details so we are ready whenever your plane lands.
The public rail alternative requires changing trains twice. You board the M4 subway at the airport, switch to the B1 Marmaray line at Ayrılık Çeşmesi to cross between continents, and change again at Yenikapı for the M2 to reach Taksim station. This rail journey takes 98 minutes and includes 464 m of walking between platforms.
The SG-2 airport shuttle runs thirty-seven times a day towards the district. It drops passengers at Abdülhak Hamit Caddesi, which leaves a walk of 532 m to the hotel entrance. Our private option takes you straight to the door with one vehicle reserved entirely for your group.
