An Escape in Beykoz's Forest Village: Hermes Country Club
Hermes Country Club sits in Mahmutşevketpaşa, in northern Beykoz, within a belt of forest well away from Istanbul's restless pace. This line of villages, stretching above the Bosphorus towards Polonezköy and Riva, is known for its quiet, its wide green spaces and its venues chosen for weddings, corporate gatherings or a full day of unwinding. That very distance from the city is why the journey is best arranged in advance.
The Reality of Getting to Mahmutşevketpaşa
Reaching Mahmutşevketpaşa is nothing like driving to an address in town. Guests coming from the European side meet bridge and motorway traffic, while those from the Anatolian side face the narrow, winding final stretch of the Beykoz forest roads. Public transport is infrequent, involves changes and is awkward with luggage; once darkness falls, following directions gets harder still. A private door-to-door transfer removes that uncertainty entirely.
Arrive in Style with Elemen Transfer
Leave the journey to Hermes Country Club to Elemen Transfer. We track your flight and wait at the terminal exit with your name on a welcome sign; your driver continues to the village's last street without stopping to ask the way. You travel in air-conditioned vehicles with generous luggage space, scheduled around the time of your event, and you can arrange the same comfort for the return. Complete your booking in a few short steps.
Because the final stretch to the venue runs along narrow village lanes, the simplest thing you can do is give your driver the door number and, if there is one, the name of the event beforehand. Mobile coverage can weaken in places around here, so agree on the meeting point before you set off. Roads in the area can get busy at weekends and during wedding season, so stating your return time when you book will spare you any waiting.
Frequently Asked Questions
A private door-to-door transfer is by far the easiest way. You are met at the terminal exit and taken straight to the entrance of the venue with no changes along the way. Public transport means more than one connection and long waits; with luggage, and in the evening, that route is genuinely tiring.
Yes. Group transfers can be arranged with minivans and larger vehicles according to the number of guests. Once you tell us the start time of the event and the pick-up point, the vehicles are set to depart together, and they are ready again at the time you choose for the return.
No. We work with drivers who know the area well, and the address is saved with its coordinates when you book. Instead of hunting for directions in the narrow streets of Mahmutşevketpaşa, the driver pulls up directly at the door you specified.
Yes, transfers can be arranged at any hour. The roads in the area are calm at night but only lightly lit, so for late returns we recommend having the vehicle wait at the venue entrance and confirming the meeting point in advance.
Visitor Tips
Northern Beykoz is cooler and windier than the city centre; bring a light extra layer for anything held outdoors.
Taxis are hard to find in the area, so booking your return transfer together with the outward journey is the safest approach.
Save the route offline or share the meeting point in advance; the signal can drop from time to time in the wooded sections.
If you would like to see Polonezköy and Riva on the same day, hourly hire is more practical than arranging a separate transfer for each stop.
