Sabiha Gökçen Airport – Eyüpsultan VIP Transfer

From Sabiha Gökçen Airport (SAW) to Eyüpsultan it is about 46 km, with an average traffic-free drive of 52 minutes. The trip runs from the Asian side to the head of the Golden Horn; the fixed price is 3,000 TRY in a VIP Mercedes Vito and 4,000 TRY in the 14-seat Mercedes Sprinter.

Arriving in Eyüp

Eyüpsultan is the historic district at the head of the Golden Horn, known for the Eyüp Sultan Mosque and its tomb complex; Pierre Loti Hill is here too. The district reaches north as far as Göktürk and Kemerburgaz. The distance and time on this page are for the Eyüp centre; for northern neighbourhoods enter the address on the homepage to see the exact fare.

Under the Bosphorus: the Eurasia Tunnel

SAW is on the Asian side, so the Bosphorus has to be crossed. The calculated route follows the D100, passes under the Bosphorus through the Eurasia Tunnel to the European side, reaches Unkapanı via Kennedy Caddesi and follows the Golden Horn shore past Ayvansaray and Hz. Halid Bulvarı to Eyüp. 52 minutes is a traffic-free figure; on the busy stretches of the D100 and on the way into the city, morning and evening traffic can add considerably. Traffic never adds to the price.

Pickup

Frequently Asked Questions

• Does the transfer from Sabiha Gökçen to Eyüpsultan cross a bridge? No — the calculated route uses the Eurasia Tunnel instead of a bridge, so the Bosphorus is still crossed, but underneath. Count on about 46 km and 52 minutes without traffic and add a margin at rush hour.
• Does the price rise if we get stuck in traffic? No. 3,000 TRY for the Vito and 4,000 TRY for the Sprinter are fixed at booking; time on the road does not change the amount.
• Is Istanbul Airport closer to Eyüpsultan? From IST it is about 39 km to the Eyüp centre, with no Bosphorus crossing, and the Vito costs 2,300 TRY — 700 TRY less than from SAW. The traffic-free times are close (56 and 52 minutes) and the real time varies more on a route with a Bosphorus crossing, so choose by flight time and price.
