Sultanahmet from Istanbul Airport for Russian-Speaking Guests
The ride from Istanbul Airport to Sultanahmet costs from €100 in a Mercedes Vito and usually takes 50 to 85 minutes. The price is per car and already covers tolls, parking and an hour of waiting at the airport. Your driver gets as close to the hotel as the Old City streets allow, and you can write your request in Russian.

Reaching a Hotel in the Old City
Many Sultanahmet hotels sit on lanes too narrow for a large vehicle, and traffic near the square is restricted. Send the hotel name in advance: we tell you which vehicle fits and where the driver will set you down. If the last few metres are on foot, he carries the suitcases to the reception desk.
Which Vehicle Suits This Area
For two people with light luggage, the E-Class is easier: it is more compact and turns more easily in the old quarters. A family or a group of up to six fits in a Vito. A Sprinter or a coach makes sense only if the hotel is on a wide street or has its own forecourt; we check that before the day.
Common Questions
When Is the Drive Quickest?
On weekdays, Google Maps shows little difference: 50 to 85 minutes at almost any hour. We have no measurement for weekends or holidays, so we do not quote one.
Does This Price Cover Laleli and Aksaray?
Yes. Laleli and Aksaray are in the same Fatih district, so the price is the same.
