About Ataşehir
Ataşehir is the modern business hub of Istanbul's Asian side, home to the İstanbul Finans Merkezi (İFM / Istanbul Financial Center) — Turkey's designated financial capital. The headquarters of the Central Bank of the Republic of Turkey (TCMB), state banks Ziraat, VakıfBank and Halkbank, and regulators BDDK and SPK are all concentrated here.
A record-low 0.4% office vacancy rate in the Ataşehir-Kozyatağı submarket and roughly 100,000 daily professional workers make this one of Istanbul's busiest corporate-travel corridors. Hotels such as Sheraton Grand Istanbul Ataşehir (1 km from İFM), Radisson Blu Hotel Istanbul Asia and Istanbul Marriott Hotel Asia support international business travel and finance summits.
Only ~26 km and 24 minutes from Sabiha Gökçen Airport (SAW), Ataşehir has one of the fastest SAW connections of any Asian-side business district — a critical advantage for government delegations and central-bank visitors.

Journey Details & FAQs
Which airport should I book my transfer to Ataşehir from?
Check your flight confirmation — Istanbul has 2 airports (Istanbul Airport, Sabiha Gökçen Airport) and which one you land at directly affects your transfer time.
How much luggage can I bring?
Standard sedans fit 1–4 suitcases; larger groups or extra luggage should choose a Vito or Sprinter.
What happens if my flight is delayed?
We track your flight, so your driver adjusts pickup time automatically at no extra charge.
Can I combine a transfer with a tour?
