Ortaköy – Istanbul Airport VIP Transfer

Ortaköy is about 46 km from Istanbul Airport (IST), and the average drive takes 61 minutes without traffic. On this route the fixed price is 2,300 TRY in a VIP Mercedes Vito and 3,000 TRY in the 14-seat Mercedes Sprinter.

About Ortaköy

Ortaköy is a neighbourhood of the Beşiktaş district on the European shore of the Bosphorus, right below the 15 July Martyrs Bridge. The waterfront Ortaköy Mosque and the square in front of it, the kumpir (stuffed baked potato) stalls, cafés and venues with Bosphorus views are what most visitors know it for. The square is busy with pedestrians, so approaching by car can be slow, especially at weekends.

Route and Journey Time

The airport and Ortaköy are both on the European side, so there is no Bosphorus crossing. The calculated route takes the old D020 road, a short stretch of the 2nd Ring Road (O-2), then Büyükdere Avenue and Barbaros Boulevard down to Beşiktaş; the last part runs along the shore on Çırağan Avenue. The 61 minutes assume no traffic; Büyükdere Avenue and the Beşiktaş area can slow down at evening rush hour, but the amount you pay does not change.
