Istanbul Airport to Bakirkoy transfer details
Istanbul Airport (IST) is about 35 km from Bakirkoy; the journey takes 35-45 minutes in normal traffic and 60-70 minutes in the evening rush. The route takes the Northern Marmara Motorway and the Basin Ekspres road straight down to the Atakoy–Bakirkoy seafront; there is no bridge crossing. Your driver picks the fastest route based on live traffic.
Bakirkoy, Atakoy, Florya and Yesilkoy are home to seafront hotels, the marina and the business hotels around Ataturk Airport. Transfers to the exhibition and congress centres in Yesilkoy are in the same price band.
