Overview

West of the airport along the Sea of Marmara lies Silivri, and the Istanbul Airport to Silivri transfer covers a manageable 54.1 km in around 35 to 45 minutes. Your surname is on a board waiting past customs, and from there the same Mercedes V-Class or Sprinter carries your whole family the rest of the way to Silivri's shoreline. Silivri's long beaches, seaside resorts and the historic Mimar Sinan Bridge make it a popular weekend escape from Istanbul, and the relatively short driving time means you can be checked into your hotel and looking out at the Marmara Sea within the hour.

Good to know

  • Collect a local SIM card at Istanbul Airport before the coastal drive west.
  • Marmara-side traffic thins outside weekend departure peaks, so weekday drives run smoother.
  • Pack a swimsuit for Silivri's beaches, popular from late spring through early autumn.
  • Confirm your hotel's promenade access, as some properties sit a short walk from the shore.
  • Visit the Mimar Sinan Bridge in daylight for the best views of the structure.
  • Check with your driver about sunset timing for an evening walk along the seafront.
  • Keep light layers handy, as sea breezes pick up once the sun goes down.
