About Kartal

Kartal sits further down the Asian coast toward Sabiha Gökçen, with its modern marina and seafront.

Kartal is a natural launch point for the Princes' Islands ferry, and it's close to Sabiha Gökçen — so a transfer here often connects to an island trip or a flight. The coastal road keeps the Marmara in view much of the way.

What's in Kartal

Travelers we drive to Kartal are usually heading for the marina, the Dragos hills and the Princes' Islands ferry pier. We'll drop you right at the Kartal marina, a seafront residence, or the Adalar ferry pier.

Famous spots in Kartal

Kartal Marina & seafront square — a redeveloped waterfront of cafés, fountains and a yacht harbour — the social centre of the southeastern Asian coast.
Dragos Hills — a leafy ridge above Kartal with some of the best Marmara and island views on this side of the city.
Adalar (Princes' Islands) ferry — fast ferries leave Kartal for Büyükada and the other islands, a shorter island hop than from central Kadıköy.

Local tip: Heading to the islands? A Kadıköy → Kartal transfer plus the Kartal ferry is often quicker than the long boat ride from the centre — just check the last return sailing.

Why book a fixed-price transfer to Kartal

A fixed Kadıköy → Kartal price — you agree the full 25-plus-minute fare to Kartal before the car moves — no meter ticking, no haggling at the door.
Door to door in Kartal — the driver takes you straight to the marina or your exact address — no changes, no walking with bags.
The traffic is our problem, not yours — a taxi meter keeps charging while you sit still (the official time rate is 598,90 TL an hour); your fixed Kartal price is the same whether the run takes 25 minutes or twice that.
No bridge to Kartal — Kartal shares the Asian side with Kadıköy, so the 25–40 min run skips every bridge and toll, keeping the fare low.
Pay your driver directly — no prepayment and no card details online for the Kartal trip — you settle with the driver at the end.

Honest note: Kartal is on the Asian side, the same as Kadıköy, so a taxi is already fairly cheap — a fixed transfer mainly buys you certainty, no haggling and a driver who shows up on time. For a tight budget in daylight, a metered taxi or BiTaksi works fine too.

Kadıköy → Kartal questions

How much is a transfer from Kadıköy to Kartal?

A metered taxi over the ~22 km to Kartal works out at roughly 1.150–1.500 TL on the official 2026 tariff (including no bridge toll since both are on the Asian side), and the same figure applies at any hour — Istanbul has no night tariff. A fixed private transfer is quoted before you travel and does not rise with traffic. Send your exact pickup, date and group size on WhatsApp for a firm price.

How long does the Kadıköy to Kartal transfer take?

Usually 25–40 min depending on traffic and the exact addresses. Kartal is on the asian side of Istanbul, reached without crossing a bridge from Kadıköy.

Does a night transfer to Kartal cost more?

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 → Kartal price is also the same around the clock.

Where in Kartal can the driver drop me?

Anywhere you need — typically the Kartal marina, a seafront residence, or the Adalar ferry pier. Just give us the exact address or landmark when you book and the driver takes you door to door.

How do I book a Kadıköy → Kartal transfer?

Send one WhatsApp message with your date, time, pickup point in Kadıköy and your Kartal address. We reply with a fixed price and the driver's details — no app, no account, no prepayment. You pay the driver directly.
