Need a reliable ride from Kadıköy to Çatalca? A private transfer gives you a fixed price agreed before you travel, a driver to your door, and no meter surprises. Çatalca is one of Istanbul's most distant corners, well beyond the metro and across a tolled bridge, so a private transfer from Kadıköy is really the only practical way to roam its scattered sights.

A rural forest-and-farmland district on Istanbul's far northwestern edge, prized for caves, ancient walls, vineyards and a true countryside escape.
From Kadıköy, Çatalca is a long haul of roughly 75 to 90 kilometres — over a tolled bridge and then deep into the rural northwest, easily 1.5 to 2 hours in traffic. The district is countryside through and through: oak forests, farms, vineyards, rock-cut caves and stretches of a 5th-century Byzantine wall. It mainly attracts day-trippers after nature, hiking and village breakfasts.
Travelers we drive to Çatalca are usually heading for the İnceğiz Caves, the Anastasian Wall and the countryside vineyards. We'll drop you right at the Çatalca town centre, the İnceğiz Caves or rural village stops.

Usually 90–130 min depending on traffic and the exact addresses. Çatalca is on the european side of Istanbul, so the route crosses a Bosphorus bridge.
No. Istanbul abolished the taxi night tariff in 2009 — a single tariff applies 24 hours a day, so a 03:00 meter reads the same per kilometre as a midday one. If a driver tells you there is a “gece tarifesi”, that is a scam. Our fixed Kadıköy → Çatalca price is also the same around the clock.
Anywhere you need — typically the Çatalca town centre, the İnceğiz Caves or rural village stops. Just give us the exact address or landmark when you book and the driver takes you door to door.
