HOTEL TRANSFER TIME & DISTANCE
In our listings Element Pera Residence is filed under Beyoğlu, Istanbul. Beyoğlu is a central district on Istanbul's European side, north of the Golden Horn, with many hotels around Taksim, İstiklal Avenue, Galata and Karaköy. Judging by the map location, the property appears to be around Tarlabaşı Boulevard. Address on record: Tarlabaşı Bulvarı 85.
Airport and meeting: Istanbul has two major airports: Istanbul Airport (IST) on the European side and Sabiha Gökçen Airport (SAW) on the Asian side. Traffic in Istanbul varies greatly during the day and between weekdays and weekends, so the journey time cannot be given as one figure and it is wise to leave a margin. Enter the flight number in full; if you are connecting, the number of the last flight into Türkiye is what is needed. State the number of bags and any large items (bicycle, golf bag, pushchair) in advance; the choice of vehicle depends on it.
At the property: Many hotels in Beyoğlu are on narrow, sloping, one-way streets, and the driver may drop you at the nearest corner the car can reach rather than at the hotel door. Around Taksim, Galata, Cihangir and Karaköy there are many hotels with the same or similar names; checking by address or street name prevents being sent to the wrong hotel. Tarlabaşı Boulevard is a wide road linking Taksim towards the Golden Horn; cars cannot stop long on it, so setting the meeting point on a side street of the boulevard helps. The streets behind the boulevard are narrow and in places sloping; send the driver the address details (street name and number) in advance. In the evening and at weekends the roads around Taksim are busy; choosing a pick-up or drop-off point on a side street away from the crowding saves time.
Return transfer: On the return from Beyoğlu to the airport, Istanbul traffic varies a lot by time of day and between weekdays and weekends; plan the pick-up with a wide margin counted back from departure, and if the hotel is on a narrow street, find out the corner where the car will wait and tell the driver. For the return, check on your ticket which airport you fly from (IST or SAW) and plan the pick-up counted back from departure with a wide margin. If you have a very early flight, tell the hotel a day ahead; it helps if the property knows about early checkout and breakfast.
In short: the right airport, the right property name and area, the right flight number, a reachable phone. If these four are correct, the rest of the transfer usually goes smoothly.İstanbul Airport to Element Pera Residence transfer time
