Istanbul → Kadıköy: key facts

Getting from Istanbul Airport (IST) to Kadıköy takes about 50 min by car on an empty road (50–60 min in heavy traffic) over 51 km via D-020 and O-1. Our private transfer costs €50 for a car with 1–3 passengers or €70 for a van with 4–8 — the vehicle price you see is the price you pay at booking.

On arrival: The driver waits in the arrivals hall of the Istanbul Airport terminal, in the international or domestic arrivals area your flight uses, after baggage reclaim and the customs exit, holding a sign with your name. If the flight is late, the driver adjusts to the real landing time; 60 minutes of waiting are included and help with the luggage is part of the service.

Kadikoy is the lively centre of the Asian side of Istanbul, on the Sea of Marmara facing the old city. From Istanbul Airport the drive crosses the Bosphorus, usually on the Yavuz Sultan Selim Bridge in the north or one of the two city bridges, so the route is about 50 km and the drive often takes around an hour. Bridge and motorway tolls apply on the way. The bridges are among the busiest roads in the city in the morning and evening peaks.

The heart of Kadikoy is the area around the ferry pier and the market streets behind it, full of food shops, cafes and bars, with Bahariye Avenue leading inland. Moda, a quieter residential neighbourhood with a seafront park, lies on the headland to the south, and the Fenerbahce stadium and marina are a little further along the coast. Ferries link the Kadikoy pier with Eminonu, Karakoy and Besiktas on the European side. Many of the central streets are pedestrian, so cars stop at the nearest open street.

Public transport: No direct rail link from the airport to Kadikoy; Havaist coaches leave from transportation floor -2 of the terminal, and the current line list should be checked on the Havaist timetable.
