Transportation Options

Public Transport

Public transportation from Istanbul Airport involves taking the M11 metro to Kağıthane, transferring to Marmaray or T1 tram line, and walking to the hotel. This journey typically takes 90-120 minutes, requiring multiple transfers while managing luggage through crowded stations. Service frequency varies throughout the day, with limited options during early morning and late night hours.

Airport Shuttle

Shared shuttle services operate on fixed schedules with multiple hotel stops throughout Sultanahmet. The journey can extend beyond 2 hours due to various pickup points and traffic conditions. Limited luggage space and rigid departure times make this option less convenient for travelers seeking flexibility.

Taxi Service

Standard taxis are available at the airport, but journey times can vary significantly depending on traffic conditions. Fares fluctuate based on traffic and time of day, and drivers may not be familiar with the narrow streets of Sultanahmet. During peak hours, finding an available taxi can be challenging.
