About Maslak
Maslak forms Istanbul's high-tech, vertical business district, with towers rising along the Büyükdere Caddesi corridor. Regional headquarters of financial institutions such as Garanti BBVA, İş Bankası, Akbank, BNP Paribas and ING sit here, alongside the offices of e-commerce giants Trendyol and Hepsiburada.
Proximity to Istanbul Technical University's (İTÜ) Ayazağa Campus makes Maslak a center for academic and tech-transfer travel too; co-working spaces such as Kolektif House host tech startups. Large conference hotels — Hilton Istanbul Maslak (284 rooms, Cupola ballroom) and Sheraton Istanbul Maslak — support corporate summits and meetings.
Although Levent, the continuation of Büyükdere Caddesi, is only 10 minutes away by metro, Maslak's character is distinctly different: Levent is defined by consulates, diplomatic travel and boutique luxury retail (Kanyon, Metrocity, Sapphire malls), while Maslak stands apart with high-tech companies, vertical campus living and large-scale corporate conference infrastructure. Vadistanbul's modern mixed-use project and events at Volkswagen Arena bring in a limited 'bleisure' crowd alongside the business travel.

Journey Details & FAQs
Which airport should I book my transfer to Maslak 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?
Yes — many travellers book an airport transfer to their hotel first, then a separate private tour once settled in.
