A prestigious link from Sabiha Gökçen (SAW) to Istanbul’s European shores. Bypass the urban gridlock via the Eurasia Tunnel and reach Ataköy Marina, Florya, and Yeşilköy in a private Mercedes Vito sanctuary.
The greatest obstacle between Sabiha Gökçen and Bakırköy is bridge traffic. We bypass this entirely by using the Eurasia Tunnel strategy. This route connects you directly to the Zeytinburnu-Bakırköy coastal highway, turning your intercontinental journey into a relaxing scenic drive.

Every Sabiha Gökçen to Bakırköy transfer we run begins the moment your flight actually touches down, not the time printed on your ticket. Our dispatch team follows SAW arrivals in real time, so if your inbound flight from London, Dubai, Berlin or Riyadh is delayed, your chauffeur simply waits at no extra charge. A driver meets you inside the terminal with a name board, helps with your luggage and walks you to a private Mercedes Vito. After a long flight the last thing you want is a crowded shuttle looping through half of Istanbul, so this journey is yours alone, straight from the Asian side terminal to your address on the Marmara seafront. For other districts across the city, our Istanbul VIP transfer hub covers every route in the same private, fixed-quote way.
We agree your fare in writing before you land, calculated once for the whole private vehicle rather than per seat or by taxi meter, so the figure you see on WhatsApp is the figure you pay at the door, whatever the traffic. There are no surprise charges for the tunnel toll, parking or a late-night arrival. Rates are quoted per Mercedes Vito for up to six passengers with luggage, and bottled water, phone chargers and child or booster seats on request come as standard. Simply message us your flight number, arrival time and Bakırköy address, and we confirm the vehicle, the pickup point and a fixed all-inclusive quote on WhatsApp within minutes.
Bakırköy lies on the European side of Istanbul, roughly 55 to 60 kilometres from Sabiha Gökçen Airport on the Asian side. In a private vehicle the crossing usually takes between 55 and 75 minutes, depending on the time of day. The fastest line runs along the motorway to the Eurasia Tunnel, dives under the Bosphorus in about five minutes and then follows coastal Kennedy Avenue west past Zeytinburnu, with the Sea of Marmara on your left almost the whole way. Because the tunnel is toll-controlled and the coastal road flows better than the inner-city arteries, this route keeps timing predictable even in the evening rush. Your chauffeur watches live traffic data before departure and will switch to the bridge crossings on the rare occasions they are quicker, so you always travel on the clearest line available.
Bakırköy is one of the most established districts on Istanbul's Marmara seafront, and it attracts a very varied mix of guests. Families and long-stay visitors like the wide coastal promenade, the yachts at Ataköy Marina and the shopping at Capacity and Carousel, two of the best-known malls on this side of the city. Business travellers appreciate being close to the exhibition halls and the coastal highway, while the neighbouring Yeşilköy quarter adds a calmer, tree-lined seaside atmosphere with fish restaurants along the old harbour. Bakırköy is also one of Turkey's leading centres for medical tourism: several major public and private hospitals and specialist clinics are located here, and a large share of our passengers on this route are patients and their relatives. For post-operative guests our drivers adjust speed and braking for a smoother ride, help with wheelchairs and luggage, and drop you as close to the hospital entrance as regulations allow.
If your Istanbul plans stretch beyond the seafront, the same private service covers the whole city. Many guests combine this route with our Sabiha Gökçen to Taksim transfer for the hotel and nightlife district, or the Sabiha Gökçen to Fatih transfer for the historic peninsula. One WhatsApp message with your flight details is enough for us to plan the pickups and confirm a fixed all-inclusive quote.
The Eurasia Tunnel is the most direct link from Sabiha Gökçen to the southern European side. It allows you to skip the heavy bridge traffic and connect to the Bakirkoy-Zeytinburnu coastline in just 15 minutes after crossing the Bosphorus underwater.
At the SAW Arrivals floor, our team waits with a board bearing your name. One hour before landing, we also provide the chauffeur’s contact details and arrival column number via WhatsApp.
The route is around 55 to 60 kilometres and the drive usually takes 55 to 75 minutes, depending on Istanbul traffic. Crossing under the Bosphorus through the Eurasia Tunnel and following coastal Kennedy Avenue keeps the timing steady even at busy hours.
Yes. The Mercedes Vito is reserved exclusively for you and your party, with no other passengers and no extra stops. Baby seats and boosters are fitted free of charge; simply tell us the ages of your children when you book.
We track your flight number in real time. If your arrival into SAW is delayed, your chauffeur is notified automatically and waits at no extra charge, ready the moment you exit the arrivals hall.
