Calculate your price
In short
The distance from Istanbul Airport to Kadıköy is 72 kilometres.
The journey takes 70 minutes off-peak and 110 minutes at peak times.
A private transfer from Istanbul Airport to Kadıköy costs €65, 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 crosses to the Asian side over the Yavuz Sultan Selim Bridge on the North Marmara Motorway, then descends to Kadıköy via the TEM and the Ataşehir link. The crossing is longer than the 15 Temmuz Bridge but far less prone to gridlock.
Driving inside the Kadıköy market area is very slow and parking is almost non-existent. Drop-off is normally on Rıhtım Avenue or at the entrance to Bahariye.
Public transport means the M11, a change to the M2 at Gayrettepe and to the Marmaray at Yenikapı: three lines and roughly two hours. Not practical for a family with luggage.

This journey does not cross the city but the north of it. It begins where the built-up area ends, runs through forest and four-hundred-year-old aqueducts, then changes continent on a bridge. Because it never enters the traffic, it is also the most predictable route.
A large share of flights into Sabiha Gökçen land after midnight. At that hour the streets of Kadıköy are empty and the car can pull up directly at the address, which is not possible during the day. On night arrivals, knowing the hotel's night entrance in advance matters more than anything else.

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.

Stopping is prohibited on Taksim Square itself. Drop-off happens on the side streets within walking distance, or in the hotel's own entrance bay; the driver identifies the right point in advance from the hotel address.
