The district's charm lies in its perfectly preserved Ottoman architecture and peaceful cobblestone streets.
Reaching Acra Hotel from Istanbul Airport via public transportation requires multiple transfers. The journey starts with the HAVAIST airport bus to Sultanahmet, followed by a walk to the hotel. Total journey time can extend to 120 minutes during peak traffic hours. Managing luggage through crowded public transport can be challenging, especially during tourist season.
Shared shuttle services operate on fixed schedules with multiple hotel stops along the route. This option requires advance booking and offers limited flexibility with departure times. The journey typically takes 100-140 minutes due to multiple passenger pickups and drop-offs, with no accommodation for flight delays.
Standard taxis are available at the airport, but journey times and costs can vary significantly based on traffic conditions. During peak hours, the 51.5 km journey can take up to 90 minutes. Vehicle quality and comfort levels are inconsistent, and communication can be challenging for international travelers.
