Transportation Options

Public Transport

Public transportation from Istanbul Airport involves taking the IST-20 airport bus to Sultanahmet, followed by a local bus or tram connection. The journey typically takes 90-120 minutes, depending on traffic and connection times. Handling luggage on public transport can be challenging, especially during peak hours. Services run from early morning until late night, with reduced frequency during off-peak hours.

Airport Shuttle

Shared shuttle services operate on fixed schedules with multiple hotel stops along the route. While more economical than private transfers, they require advance booking and offer limited flexibility. Journey times can extend beyond 2 hours due to multiple stops. Luggage space may be restricted during peak travel seasons, and early morning or late-night arrivals may have limited availability.

Taxi

Standard taxis are available at Istanbul Airport's official taxi stands. The 47.5 km journey can take 60-90 minutes, depending on traffic conditions. Prices vary significantly based on traffic and time of day. While taxis offer door-to-door service, vehicle quality and comfort levels can be inconsistent. Payment methods may be limited, with some drivers preferring cash.
