Public transportation from Istanbul Airport involves taking the IST-20 airport bus to Sultanahmet, followed by a short walk. The journey typically takes 90-120 minutes depending on traffic and can be challenging with luggage. Service frequency varies throughout the day, and the route can be particularly crowded during peak hours.
Shared shuttle services operate on fixed schedules with multiple hotel stops, extending journey times considerably. Advanced booking is required, and limited luggage space can be problematic. Services may not accommodate early morning or late-night flights, and pickup points might require additional walking.
Standard taxis are available at the airport, but journey times and costs can vary significantly based on traffic conditions. During peak hours, finding an available taxi can be challenging, and communication might be difficult. The ride typically takes 60-90 minutes, depending on traffic conditions.
