Pendik and Kartal are just 14 km and about 20 minutes from Sabiha Gökçen — the shortest transfer we offer in Istanbul.
It is ideal for hotels near the airport, the Pendik marina or connecting to the high-speed train station.
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.
Very short run to the Marmara shore; Pendik also has the high-speed train station.
