Sabiha Gökçen Airport→Adalar (Princes Islands)

Arriving at Sabiha Gökçen with the Princes' Islands on your itinerary is one of those journeys where a little planning saves a great deal of stress. The islands sit out in the Sea of Marmara and are reached only by sea, which means your transfer has two distinct legs: a private car from the airport to a ferry pier, then the crossing itself. Our fixed-price, door-to-door private transfer takes the guesswork out of the first and most important leg, delivering you straight to the pier in a clean, comfortable vehicle so you can step onto the ferry calm and on time.

The single biggest advantage of starting from SAW is geography. Sabiha Gökçen is on the Asian side of Istanbul, the same shore as the piers that serve the islands. Rather than crossing the entire city as you would from Istanbul Airport on the European side, your private car runs a much shorter mainland route to a nearby Asian-shore pier such as Bostancı, Kartal or Pendik. From there the ferry carries you across to Adalar. Your driver knows which pier best suits your ferry and your timing, and we plan the pickup around the published ferry timetable rather than leaving you to scramble for the next departure.

Adalar is the official name for the Princes' Islands, a small archipelago in the Sea of Marmara that feels worlds away from the city you just flew into. The islands are famously car-free: instead of traffic you find quiet lanes, pine forests, sea breezes and pastel waterfront houses. The largest and best known is Büyükada ("Big Island"), with its grand wooden mansions, the long climb up to the hilltop, and a harbour lined with cafés. Heybeliada is greener and more relaxed, dotted with pine woods and swimming coves. Burgazada and Kınalıada are smaller and gentler still, perfect for a slower pace.

Because the islands run on a different rhythm, getting the mainland half of the journey right matters enormously. Miss a ferry and you can wait a long time for the next one; arrive in good time and the crossing becomes the relaxing prelude to your island stay. That is exactly why a transfer matched to the ferry schedule — not just dropped at a random dock — is worth booking.

When you land, your driver is already waiting in the Sabiha Gökçen arrivals hall holding a name sign. There is no app to open, no queue to join and no haggling. We track your flight in real time, so if you land early or late the pickup simply adjusts. Should you be delayed at passport control or baggage reclaim, free waiting time means your driver stays put without any extra charge or pressure.

Every transfer comes in a clean, comfortable vehicle sized to your group — a private saloon for couples, or a roomy van for families and friends travelling with luggage and beach bags for the islands. Child seats are available on request, so families arrive safely and legally. The price you see is the price you pay: one fixed, all-inclusive fare with no surge pricing, no meter and no surprises at the pier. Booking is available 24/7, including the late and early flights that SAW is known for.

From €60, you get a private, fixed-price car from the airport door to the ferry pier, with meet-and-greet, flight tracking and free waiting included — the smoothest possible start to a Princes' Islands escape.

The private car covers the mainland leg — from Sabiha Gökçen arrivals directly to an Asian-shore pier (such as Bostancı, Kartal or Pendik). The ferry crossing to Adalar is a separate ticket you buy at the pier, but your driver drops you right there and we time the pickup around the ferry timetable so you are not left waiting.

It depends on your ferry and your timing. Because SAW is on the Asian side, your driver chooses the most convenient nearby Asian-shore pier — usually Bostancı, Kartal or Pendik — to give you the shortest mainland drive and a sensible connection to the islands.

We monitor your flight automatically, so the pickup adjusts to your real arrival time. Your driver waits with free waiting time built in, meaning a late landing or a slow baggage hall does not cost you extra or leave you stranded.
