We always recommend checking with your airline or a trusted third party such as IATA to get advice.

If you are departing from SAW, then you can reach Darica in about 30 minutes by car or Sakarya in about one hour and 15 minutes if you’re driving. We recommend that you drive rather than taking public transport because, in general, you will find this a quicker way to get from city to city. If it’s further afield, such as Ankara, then a domestic flight is a good option.
