About Büyükçekmece

West of central Istanbul, Büyükçekmece lies between the Marmara shore and Büyükçekmece Lake. Mimar Sinan's stone bridge at the mouth of the lake is its best-known historic landmark. The beaches of Kumburgaz and Güzelce are a summer escape for many Istanbul residents, and the district is also a through-point for TEM and E-5 traffic heading towards Tekirdağ.

Route from Sabiha Gökçen to Büyükçekmece

After leaving the airport, the Bosphorus is crossed via the Fatih Sultan Mehmet or Yavuz Sultan Selim bridge or the Eurasia Tunnel, then the route continues west on the TEM or E-5. In free-flowing traffic the 77 km take about 74 minutes; at evening rush hour the bridge and tunnel approaches can add significant time, so allow for this when heading to the airport.
