About the Area
The shores of Lake Sapanca are lined with hotels, bungalows and villas. Maşukiye and Kartepe are in the same price zone, so you can use this transfer for the Kartepe ski resort in winter or the riverside venues of Maşukiye in summer.
Many places in the area are by the lake or in the forest on narrow roads. Your driver checks the address in advance and drops you at the door of your property.
How the Transfer Works
From Sabiha Gökçen the route heads east on the Northern Marmara Motorway or the TEM, through Kocaeli to Sapanca. From Istanbul Airport, it joins the same motorway via the Yavuz Sultan Selim Bridge.
Add your flight number and we will track your landing; your driver meets you at the arrivals exit with your name. On the long drive, just tell your driver if you would like a short stop. Payment is in cash in the car or by bank transfer.
