Six Senses Kocatas Mansions Istanbul Hotel

Imagine leaving the airport behind for two restored Ottoman-era mansions on the water, which is exactly what Six Senses Kocatas Mansions Istanbul offers on Meserburnu Caddesi in Sariyer.

Getting there under your own steam is not straightforward. A taxi can work, but the meter reacts unpredictably to coast road traffic. Public transport means the M2 metro to Haciosman, then a bus following the shoreline through Emirgan and Istinye, plus a walk from the nearest stop. A shared shuttle usually calls at other hotels along the way too.

Both Istanbul Airport and Sabiha Gokcen Airport bring travelers toward this end of the Bosphorus, and either route can take well over an hour given the distance from the center.

City Transfer Turkey agrees your fare before you land and tracks your flight from both airports, so by the time you clear customs, a driver is already there holding your name, ready to head straight for Six Senses Kocatas Mansions Istanbul without calling anywhere else first. Piecing together buses after a long-haul flight is neither quick nor especially safe this far out; a private, English-speaking driver removes both concerns at once.

A sedan suits two guests and a VIP minivan suits a larger party. Some call this a Sariyer airport transfer, others simply an Istanbul transfer or a fuller Istanbul airport transfer, but every private transfer we run treats Six Senses Kocatas Mansions Istanbul the same way.
