Istanbul Airport to Atasehir transfer details
Istanbul Airport (IST) is about 60 km from Atasehir; the journey takes 65-80 minutes in normal traffic and 100-120 minutes in the evening rush. The route follows the Northern Marmara Motorway and crosses to the Asian side over either the Yavuz Sultan Selim Bridge or, via the TEM, the Fatih Sultan Mehmet Bridge, then drops down to Atasehir. Bridge tolls are included in the price. Your driver picks the fastest route based on live traffic.
Atasehir is home to the finance centre, the West Atasehir office towers and the business hotels around Palladium and Brandium. Sabiha Gokcen is the closer airport for the Asian side; if your flight lands at Istanbul Airport, public transport with changes can take up to 2.5 hours, so a transfer is the only practical option.
