After collecting your car at Sabiha Gökçen (SAW), you reach the Asian side very quickly and the European side via the bridges.

Distances from SAW

Kurtköy/Pendik a few km, Kadıköy ~40 km (45–60 min), Üsküdar ~45 km. European side (Taksim) via bridges ~50–60 km.

To the European side

Via the 15 July and FSM bridges; crossings are automatic via HGS/OGS. Allow for rush-hour bridge traffic.

Out-of-town routes

SAW is also an ideal start for Sapanca, Şile-Ağva and Bursa. For long drives an automatic car adds comfort.
