Overview

Sabiha Gökçen to Bostanci is one of the shorter drives we offer from this airport, staying on the Asian side of the city rather than crossing the Bosphorus, which keeps the journey simple even at busy times of day. Your Haqqi Tours driver checks the status of your incoming flight before you land at Sabiha Gökçen, then waits inside arrivals with a printed name board, ready to head for Bostanci's seafront or one of the inland streets nearby. Booked exclusively for your party, the Mercedes V-Class or Sprinter takes you from the terminal kerb to your own door in one continuous ride, no transfers and no shared shuttle. The figure for this Asian-side run to Bostanci is put in writing between our desk and you well ahead of departure, so nothing is left to settle once the family is on the ground in Istanbul.

Route details

About the destination

Bostanci is a lively coastal neighbourhood on Istanbul's Asian shore, better known to residents than to first-time visitors, which gives it an easier, more local pace than the city's tourist quarters. Its promenade along the Sea of Marmara draws families for an evening walk, and the ferry pier connects the district to crossings further along the coast, making it a natural stop for anyone continuing their journey by water. Around the pier, cafés, tea gardens and a large shopping mall serve the surrounding residential streets, while the nearby exhibition and concert hall brings a steady programme of events through the year. Travellers who base themselves here tend to be visiting family, attending an event, or simply prefer a calmer, everyday side of the city over the historic centre's crowds.
