Istanbul Airport to Besiktas Taxi: 50–80 min, fixed price
Taxi from Istanbul Airport to Besiktas takes about 50 to 80 minutes. The car leaves the motorway at Levent or Zincirlikuyu and drops to the Bosphorus shore road. Ortaköy and Bebek are a few minutes further along the water; in the evening rush the shore road is slow, which is why the price is fixed, not metered.
The Beşiktaş shore has the large Bosphorus hotels and the palace. Send the hotel name and the flight number; the driver waits at arrivals with your name and tracks the landing. Twenty minutes after baggage claim are included.
