Between Ortaköy and Bebek
Mandarin Oriental gives its address as Kuruçeşme Mahallesi, Muallim Naci Caddesi No 62, Beşiktaş, on the European shores of the Bosphorus, and describes a waterfront location between Ortaköy and Bebek.
Muallim Naci Caddesi is the narrow shore road that runs north from Ortaköy. Traffic here moves slowly in the evening and at weekends, when the waterfront clubs and restaurants are busy. The van stops at the hotel entrance on that road.
What it costs
- Istanbul Airport → Mandarin Oriental Bosphorus: €50 Eco Van, €60 Vito, €65 V-Class, €80 Sprinter.
- Sabiha Gökçen → Mandarin Oriental Bosphorus: €70 Eco Van, €80 Vito, €85 V-Class, €100 Sprinter.
