Akin Suites Hotel

Nobody wants to spend their first hour in Istanbul haggling over a taxi fare or squeezed onto a shuttle making unplanned stops, yet that is the reality for guests heading to Akin Suites on Kirmizi Kusak Sokak, barely a hundred meters from the Marmara shoreline in Rasimpasa. The public transport route is not much kinder, involving a metro ride, a tram transfer, and a walk hauling luggage to the door. Since Sabiha Gokcen Airport sits nearer to Kadikoy, it is typically the shorter journey, while Istanbul Airport adds considerably more driving time.

City Transfer Turkey confirms your fare well ahead of departure, keeps watch on your flight whichever airport it lands at, and sends a driver to stand at the gate with your name printed clearly, taking you the rest of the way to Akin Suites without any other passengers along for the ride.

A sedan suits two travelers, a VIP minivan handles families or larger groups, all with a licensed professional driver. It works out noticeably faster and safer than a taxi meter or a crowded shuttle, with an English-speaking driver throughout. A Kadikoy airport transfer covers most arrivals here, and City Transfer Turkey carries the same fixed pricing to a private transfer across town, an ordinary Istanbul transfer, or a full Istanbul airport transfer home. Akin Suites is just as simple to reach on a delayed red-eye as an on-time arrival.
