Tips for your departure transfer
For a departure transfer we suggest a hotel pickup about 4 hours before take-off.
- Give us your flight departure time; we will suggest a pickup time that leaves 4 h for check-in and security at Istanbul Airport.
- Ask reception to have your luggage ready five minutes before pickup — drivers are punctual.
- Travelling with children? Child seats are free; tell us the ages in the booking notes.
- In high season traffic around Laleli can be heavier in the morning; choose the earlier of two pickup options if in doubt.
What the journey is like
The route follows the main highway out of the airport before branching off towards Laleli. Vehicles are air-conditioned and the driver can stop briefly for water or a restroom if you ask. Night arrivals are no problem — the fixed price is the same at any hour.

Istanbul traffic is heavy on weekdays, roughly 07:00–10:00 and 17:00–20:00, and bridge and motorway crossings can add time. We plan pickups with this in mind.
Your driver follows live traffic and picks the best route. The price is fixed and does not change with traffic or waiting time.
For the return trip we recommend a pickup about 4 hours before your flight departs.
Shopping streets and malls are within walking distance of most hotels. Ancient sites and old quarters make it as much a culture stop as a holiday base.
Laleli travel guide
Planning your stay in Laleli? Here is what to see and do once your transfer drops you off.
Laleli is a busy commercial neighbourhood on the historic peninsula, famous for wholesale textile shops and a dense cluster of affordable hotels. Its central location along the tram line puts the Grand Bazaar, Beyazıt Square and Sultanahmet within easy reach. The streets buzz with traders by day, giving the area an energetic, very local character.
Places to see
- Laleli Mosque An 18th-century Ottoman Baroque mosque standing beside the main avenue.
- Beyazıt Square A historic square near Istanbul University and the gates of the Grand Bazaar.
- Süleymaniye Mosque Mimar Sinan's grand mosque complex crowning a hill above the Golden Horn.
- Grand Bazaar The famous covered market, only a short walk from the district.
Things to do
- Shop for textiles and clothing in the wholesale stores
- Walk up to Süleymaniye for views over the Golden Horn
- Take the T1 tram to Sultanahmet or Eminönü
- Try traditional kebab and soup houses favoured by local traders
- Delivery vehicles crowd the streets during business hours, so pick-ups can take a little longer.
- Keep the hotel's street name handy as many hotels here have similar names.
- Shops are busiest on weekdays and many close early on Sundays.
