The Time Hotel Marina

The Time Hotel Marina sits on a quiet side street in Bakirkoy's Zeytinlik neighborhood, a short walk from the Marmara Sea promenade.

Reaching a backstreet hotel like this from Istanbul Airport or Sabiha Gokcen Airport usually comes down to three choices: a taxi with a fare that depends on E5 traffic, a metro-and-tram combination that leaves you a ten-minute walk from Odabaşı Sokak with your bags, or a shared shuttle that stops at several other hotels before The Time Hotel Marina comes into view.

City Transfer Turkey settles the price before you even board the flight, tracks it from both Istanbul Airport and Sabiha Gokcen Airport so a delay changes nothing about the pickup, and has a driver waiting at arrivals with a name board, taking you straight to the hotel door with no other stops. Because the fare is locked in before landing and a driver is already tracking the flight, the ride into Bakirkoy ends up faster and safer than gambling on a phone-planned route at two in the morning. Couples travel by sedan, larger groups get a VIP minivan, and every car comes with a licensed, English-speaking driver who knows Bakirkoy's back streets well.

Book it as a Bakirkoy airport transfer, a full Istanbul airport transfer, or a private transfer after a delayed landing, and City Transfer Turkey turns the ride to The Time Hotel Marina into the easiest part of the whole Istanbul transfer.
