Istanbul Airport (IST) to Sapanca Vito transfer
Sapanca is in Sakarya province, about 170 kilometres from Istanbul Airport. Guests of the lakeside hotels tend to go straight from the airport by Vito; the drive takes two to two and a half hours.
What is the road like?
Almost the whole route is motorway. You take the Northern Marmara Motorway over the Yavuz Sultan Selim Bridge and carry on towards Kocaeli without entering city traffic. If you would like a break on the way, agree it with the driver beforehand.
Good to know
On Sunday evenings the road towards Istanbul is busy, so a return transfer at that time takes longer. For intercity transfers the price depends on the date and on whether the return is with the same vehicle. Settle in your request whether motorway and bridge tolls are included in the price.
What does the price include?
Prices shown are one-way and per vehicle; bridge and motorway tolls and up to 60 minutes of waiting at the airport are usually included. What is included, extra stops, night rates and peak-season surcharges are agreed with the listing owner.
The prices on this page are market averages. Each vehicle owner sets their own price; you see the final price and availability in the reply to your request.
