The journey and the route
The trip is about 60 kilometres and takes 60 to 90 minutes depending on traffic. It crosses from Europe to Asia by the Bosphorus (15 Temmuz Şehitler) or Fatih Sultan Mehmet bridge.
Both bridge tolls are included. Tolls on privately operated motorways such as the Northern Marmara Motorway, and the Eurasia Tunnel, are not; your driver picks the best route for the traffic.
Arriving in Kadıköy
Most hotels and addresses in central Kadıköy and towards Moda and Fenerbahçe can be reached by car to the door. In the pedestrian market area, your driver drops you at the nearest suitable point.
Bridge traffic builds from Europe to Asia in the evenings. Allow a little more time for evening arrivals; the price does not change with the hour.

Near you in Kadıköy
Moda
The waterfront district south of central Kadıköy, known for quiet streets, cafés and the seaside promenade.
Bağdat Avenue
The shopping avenue from Kadıköy towards Bostancı; hotels and homes around it are reached by car to the door.
Kadıköy Pier
The hub for ferries to the European side; Karaköy, Eminönü and Beşiktaş are a short crossing away.
Other ways to get to Kadıköy
By public transport, Istanbul Airport to Kadıköy takes several changes between metro and Marmaray or the ferry, which is tiring with luggage.
By taxi the bridge crossing and the long distance make the fare uncertain until the end. With a private transfer you see the total, bridge toll included, when you book.
The trip back
Going back from Kadıköy to Istanbul Airport you cross the Bosphorus again, so we suggest leaving at least four and a half hours before an international departure. Morning bridge traffic runs heavy from Asia to Europe.
