Transportation Options

Public Transport

Reaching Artefes Hotel from Istanbul Airport by public transport requires multiple transfers. The journey starts with the HAVAIST airport shuttle to Sultanahmet, followed by a 10-minute walk to the hotel. Total journey time varies between 90-120 minutes depending on traffic. While economical, managing luggage through crowded public transport and narrow historic streets can be challenging, especially during peak tourist seasons.

Airport Shuttle

Shared shuttle services operate on fixed schedules with multiple hotel stops throughout Sultanahmet. While cost-effective, the journey typically takes 100-130 minutes due to numerous pickup points. Limited luggage space and rigid departure times make this option less convenient for families or travelers with multiple bags. Advanced booking is required, and services may not accommodate early morning or late-night flights.

Taxi Service

Standard taxis are readily available at Istanbul Airport, but journey times can vary significantly based on traffic conditions. The 50.7 km route typically takes 60-90 minutes. Prices fluctuate based on traffic and time of day, and some drivers may be unfamiliar with the narrow streets of Sultanahmet. Vehicle quality and comfort levels can be inconsistent, particularly during peak travel periods.
