Sabiha Gökçen – Ortaköy VIP Transfer

The road from Sabiha Gökçen Airport (SAW) to Ortaköy is about 41 km, with an average of 43 minutes without traffic. The fixed price is 3,000 TRY in a VIP Mercedes Vito and 4,000 TRY in the 14-seat Mercedes Sprinter.

About Ortaköy

Ortaköy is a waterfront neighbourhood of Beşiktaş on the European shore of the Bosphorus, at the foot of the 15 July Martyrs Bridge. It is known for Ortaköy Mosque, the square by the water, its kumpir stalls and cafés looking out over the Bosphorus. Foot traffic around the square is heavy, so your driver stops at the closest suitable point to your address.

Bosphorus Crossing and Timing

SAW is on the Asian side and Ortaköy on the European side, so the trip crosses the Bosphorus. The calculated route goes from Abdi İpekçi Avenue onto the D100, takes the O-1 link over the 15 July Martyrs Bridge, then comes down to the neighbourhood via Barbaros Boulevard and Çırağan Avenue. The European end of the bridge sits right above Ortaköy. The 43 minutes assume no traffic; the bridge is often congested in the morning and evening, so the real time can be noticeably longer. The fixed price is not affected.
