Sabiha Gökçen Airport is on the Asian side of Istanbul, in Pendik. If you are heading to Kadıköy, Ataşehir or Bağdat Avenue, it is the closest airport in the city. If your hotel is on the European side, the ride is a little longer because of the bridge or tunnel crossing, and travelling with a driver who knows the roads saves real time.
With our Sabiha Gökçen transfer, the price is per vehicle and fixed at booking. Below you can see current prices from Sabiha Gökçen to the most popular districts.
