من مطار إسطنبول إلى بيليكدوزو: حافلة Havaist إلى توياب أو القطار أو سيارة

Istanbul Airport (IST) to Beylikdüzü is a drive across the western suburbs with no Bosphorus crossing, and Havaist runs a direct coach line there: its route list gives 67 km and about 90 minutes from the airport to the Marmarapark stop, calling at Tüyap on the way. By rail there is no direct line, but the new M11 extension, the M9 and the Metrobüs get you there with two changes. A car takes you to the door, and our private airport transfer in a Mercedes Vito starts from $60 per group.

Beylikdüzü is on the Sea of Marmara at the western edge of the city, while the airport is up near the Black Sea coast in the north. Both are on the European side, which keeps this route simpler than most. What makes it longer than it looks on a map is the size of the city in between.

The geography: north coast to south coast, all on the European side

Istanbul Airport sits in Arnavutköy, in open country north of the city. Beylikdüzü is on the Marmara shore, towards the western end of the city's built-up area, beyond Avcılar and next to Büyükçekmece.

The route between them never touches the historic centre or the Bosphorus bridges, the two places where Istanbul traffic is at its worst. Instead it uses the motorways that loop around the western side of the city. That has two practical effects:

• The drive is more predictable than a run to the Asian side or to the old city. There is no bridge to queue for.
• The busy roads near Beylikdüzü are the D-100 and the motorway junctions, not the city centre. The D-100 coastal highway, also called the E-5, is the main road through the district, and it carries the Metrobüs in its central lanes.

By car: routes a driver will choose

A driver from IST to Beylikdüzü has a choice between a western loop and a more central line through the suburbs.

• The western loop. Havaist's own Beylikdüzü coaches go this way. Their route list shows stops at Çatalca State Hospital, Serbest Bölge (the free trade zone), Tepecik and Büyükçekmece before they reach Tüyap and Marmarapark, so the coach heads west on the motorways north of the city before turning south to the coast.
• The central line. Through the newer districts of Başakşehir and Esenyurt towards the D-100. It is shorter on the map but runs through more junctions and residential traffic.

Your driver picks by the hour. On a weekday evening the junctions around the D-100 slow everything down, whichever way you come. Motorway tolls apply, and with a taxi they are added to the meter.

As for time, Havaist's figure of about 90 minutes for its Beylikdüzü line includes six intermediate stops and the detour west to Çatalca. A car that goes straight to your address is usually quicker than the coach, and falls within the 45 to 90 minute range we quote for airport transfers. The worst hours are weekday mornings and late afternoons around the D-100.

Havaist Beylikdüzü line: the direct coach

Of all the routes on this page, this is the one most people use. According to Havaist's route list as published in January 2026, the Beylikdüzü line runs:

The line is 67 km long and Havaist gives a journey time of about 90 minutes.

• Tickets: Havaist fares are set per route and have changed several times in 2026. Check the current fare and the timetable on hava.ist or in the Havaist app; the timetable page shows departure times and the fare for each pair of stops.
• From the city to the airport, the coach drops you at the departure entrance gates 1 to 4, which the airport names as the Havaist drop-off point.
• Wheelchair users should request assistance at least an hour ahead for trips from the airport to the city, or six hours ahead in the other direction, according to Istanbul Airport.

The coach ends at a shopping centre, not at your hotel. From Marmarapark or Tüyap you will usually need a short taxi ride, because Beylikdüzü is spread out and much of it is residential sites on the slopes above the coast.

Rail and Metrobüs: M11, M9, then the Metrobüs west

Since the M11 metro was extended from the airport to Halkalı in June 2026, there is a way to reach Beylikdüzü without the roads for most of the trip. It takes two changes.

1. M11 from the airport towards Halkalı. Get off at Olimpiyatköy, the stop for the Olympic Stadium area.
2. M9 from Olimpiyat to Yenibosna. The M9 runs between Olimpiyat and Ataköy. Metro İstanbul gives the whole line as about 26 minutes, with trains from 06:00 to midnight. Yenibosna is 12 stops from Olimpiyat, the second station from the Ataköy end.
3. Metrobüs west from Yenibosna. The Metrobüs is a bus rapid transit line in its own lanes along the D-100. Heading west from Yenibosna it passes Sefaköy, Florya, Küçükçekmece and Avcılar, then reaches the Beylikdüzü stops: Beylikdüzü, Beylikdüzü Belediye, Cumhuriyet Mahallesi, Beykent and the end of the line at Beylikdüzü Sondurak.

What to know before choosing it:

• You need an İstanbulkart for all three. Buy one from the machines in the airport station.
• The Metrobüs is crowded at rush hour, often standing room only. With a large suitcase it is uncomfortable for you and everyone around you.
• It is a long ride. The Metrobüs from Yenibosna to the far end of Beylikdüzü covers a large part of a 52 km line, with many stops.
• The last stretch is uphill. Most stops are on the D-100, and many hotels and flats sit on the slopes north and south of it.

For a solo traveller with a backpack arriving in daylight, this route works. For anyone else, the Havaist coach or a car is easier.

Taxi from Istanbul Airport to Beylikdüzü

Taxis wait at the official stands outside the arrivals floor around the clock. Istanbul Airport lists orange standard taxis, turquoise taxis that cost 15% more and black luxury taxis that cost 70% more, all on the taximeter under the city's UKOME tariff. Motorway tolls are paid by the passenger on top of the meter.

Practical points for this route:

• It is a long metered ride, so ask for an estimate before you set off. The city's taxi tariff was raised during 2026.
• Have the full address, including neighbourhood (mahalle) and, for an apartment, the site name and block letter. Beylikdüzü has many large gated residential sites.
• If you are going to Tüyap for a trade fair, say which hall or entrance you need. The complex is big and the drop-off point matters when you are carrying samples or display material.
• Take a turquoise taxi if you have several large cases; they have more boot space.

Who stays in Beylikdüzü

Beylikdüzü is a newer district of residential towers, gated sites and shopping centres along the coast, a long way from the sights. Visitors who land there are usually here for a specific reason:

• Trade fairs at Tüyap. The Tüyap fair and congress centre hosts large exhibitions through the year, and hotels in Beylikdüzü and Büyükçekmece fill with fair visitors and exhibitors.
• Family visits. Many residents of the western districts have relatives abroad who come to stay.
• Property viewings. The western suburbs are a popular area for buyers from abroad, and viewings often mean several days based in the district.
• Business in the western industrial zones and the free trade zone that the Havaist coach passes on its way in.

If your trip is mainly sightseeing, Beylikdüzü is a hard base. Our guide to where to stay in Istanbul explains the central districts, and our Sultanahmet hotels page covers the old city in detail.

From Beylikdüzü to the old city, and to Gallipoli and Troy

To the old city. The Metrobüs runs east along the D-100 all the way to Cevizlibağ, where you change to the T1 tram for Sultanahmet. It is a long ride, and at rush hour a crowded one. A car is quicker outside peak hours. For what to do once you arrive, see things to do in Sultanahmet and our guides to Hagia Sophia and the Topkapı Palace.

For a sightseeing day, our private car with driver collects you in Beylikdüzü, so you do not have to cross the city by public transport before you even start.

To Gallipoli and Troy. Beylikdüzü is on the western side of the city, the direction you leave in for the Dardanelles. Gallipoli and Troy trips from Istanbul head west towards Tekirdağ and Çanakkale, so if you are staying out here you are already on your way. Our Gallipoli tours from Istanbul page explains the one-day and overnight options, and the Troy destination guide covers the ancient city. Ask us when booking whether the pickup can be arranged at your address.

Back to the airport from Beylikdüzü

For the return trip, the same three options apply in reverse. Havaist coaches leave from Marmarapark and Tüyap; check the departure times on hava.ist. A taxi or a booked car comes to your door.

Both Istanbul airports have a security check at the terminal entrance, before check-in, and the queues can be long at busy times. Our planning rule is to reach IST about three hours before an international flight, then add the drive and a margin for rush hour on the D-100. When you book a departure transfer with us, we confirm the pickup time the day before. Our Istanbul airport private transfer page explains how pickups work at both airports.
