HOTEL TRANSFER TIME & DISTANCE
In our listings Karakoy Aparts 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 the Galata Tower. Address information in our system: Yüksekkaldırım Caddesi 49, İstanbul, 34425.
Airport and meeting: Istanbul has two major airports: Istanbul Airport (IST) on the European side and Sabiha Gökçen Airport (SAW) on the Asian side. Before booking, check the airport code on your ticket (IST or SAW); the two airports are on opposite sides of the city, so choosing wrongly costs a lot of time. 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 your phone number with the country code and make sure it will be switched on when you land; contact may be needed at the meeting.
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. İstiklal Avenue is a pedestrian zone closed to vehicles; hotels near it are approached from side streets or from surrounding roads such as Tarlabaşı and Sıraselviler. That is why it matters which street your hotel entrance is on. Streets around Galata are steep, narrow and cobbled, with steps in places; plan your luggage on the basis that the car can often only reach the street below or above rather than the hotel door. The area around the Galata Tower has streets that move slowly with tourists during the day; it is easier if the driver meets you at the start of your property's street rather than at the tower. 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.
Before completing the booking, look at: airport code, property name and Beyoğlu, flight number, number of people and bags, contact number.İstanbul Airport to Karakoy Aparts transfer time
