Private Transfer
45 km · 70–85 min · from €80
Get Instant PriceSabiha Gökçen (SAW) is on the Asian side of Istanbul, while Sultanahmet is across the water on the European historic peninsula. The ~45 km journey crosses the Bosphorus and usually takes 70–85 minutes. Your private Mercedes Vito handles the crossing and the Old City drop-off for one fixed price, tracked from your flight's arrival.
This route crosses from Asia to Europe, and the fastest way is the Eurasia Tunnel under the Bosphorus. Its toll (around €11) is already included in your fixed price, so the total is a little higher than an Asian-side transfer like Kadıköy, and nothing extra appears at the barrier. Once across, the same Old City rules apply: Sultanahmet's streets are narrow and partly pedestrianised, and your driver gets you as close to your hotel door as vehicle access allows.
How much is a transfer from Sabiha Gökçen to Sultanahmet?
A private Mercedes Vito transfer starts from €80, fixed and all-inclusive. That already covers the Eurasia Tunnel toll, so there is nothing extra to pay on the day.
Why is SAW to Sultanahmet more expensive than SAW to Kadıköy?
Because it crosses from the Asian to the European side through the tolled Eurasia Tunnel, which adds distance, time and the toll itself. All of it is included in the fixed price shown.
How long is the drive from SAW to Sultanahmet?
Around 70–85 minutes for the ~45 km cross-Bosphorus route, depending on traffic. We track your flight and plan the fastest live crossing.
