Kadıköy and Moda are the lively heart of the Asian side. From Istanbul Airport it is about 62 km — typically 70 minutes — including a Bosphorus crossing.
The driver picks the bridge with the best traffic at that moment. If your ticket allows a choice, Sabiha Gökçen is much closer to Kadıköy.
The starting price on this page excludes motorway tolls and airport fees; they are added to the exact quote before you book, and traffic does not change the confirmed total.
Crosses to the Asian side; route chosen between the northern motorway bridge and the city bridges depending on traffic.
