Calculate your price
In short
The distance from Istanbul Airport to Bakırköy is 35 kilometres.
The journey takes 35 minutes off-peak and 55 minutes at peak times.
A private transfer from Istanbul Airport to Bakırköy costs €40, with bridge, tunnel and motorway tolls included.
The price is locked at booking; no extra charge appears later because of traffic or the route taken.
The route runs south on the Basın Ekspres road and joins the D-100. Because it never enters the city centre, this is the shortest and most predictable run from Istanbul Airport.
The centre of the Bakırköy market district is pedestrianised, so the car can only reach the surrounding streets. On the Ataköy marina side and at the shore hotels, pulling up at the door is straightforward.
There is no direct metro link; it requires changes via the M11 and the M9. Havaist runs a Bakırköy line, but the intervals can stretch to an hour.

This is the shortest journey out of the airport and it stays on the European side throughout. In forty-five minutes you pass a lagoon, the village where a treaty shrank an empire, and a closed airport.
Vehicle access is restricted in the core of Sultanahmet and many hotels cannot be reached by car. The driver stops at the nearest legal drop-off point and carries your luggage to the door.
