Asian side districts
East of the strait are Kadıköy and Moda, Üsküdar and Çengelköy, Beykoz further up the shore, the Ataşehir business towers, and the Marmara-coast districts of Bostancı, Maltepe, Kartal, Pendik and Tuzla. From Sabiha Gökçen each is €50; from Istanbul Airport, €70.
Each district page shows both airport fares, the measured distance and drive time from each airport, access notes for narrow or pedestrian streets, and the hotels we list there.
District not listed?
The list covers the districts with their own pages. Many more neighbourhoods and hotels can be booked by name in the Fare Pass. If yours is not there, choose the nearest district, type the exact address, and dispatch confirms the fare by the side rule.
Galataport, the cruise port in Karaköy, has its own page as well, and the ride between the two airports is listed under routes.
