Istanbul Airport Transfer to Uskudar

 

Uskudar is approximately 45 km away from Istanbul Airport (IST). An Istanbul airport transfer normally takes around 55 minutes to reach Uskudar.

 

Uskudar is located just up the coast from Kadikoy. The area that is now Uskudar appears to have been settled at about the same time as Kadikoy. Uskudar takes its name from the Greek word "Scutari", which could have been derived from "skitos", which the leather used to coat the shields of the imperial guards stationed here, or from Scutation, the name of a long-lost Byzantine palace situated on land immediately across from the Maiden's Tower. This in turn evolved into the modern Üsküdar.

 

Today Uskudar houses the following historical sights;

 

Maiden's Tower, Beylerbeyi Palace (1861 - 1865), Harbor Mosque (Ä°skele Mosque - 1548), Yeni Valide Mosque (1710), Semsi Pasha Mosque (1580) and Fountain of Sultan Ahmet III (1728).
