Transportation Options

Public Transport

Public transportation from Istanbul Airport involves taking the HAVAIST airport bus to Taksim Square, followed by either a steep walk or a short taxi ride to the hotel. The journey typically takes 80-100 minutes, depending on traffic conditions. While economical, managing luggage through crowded public spaces and navigating the area's steep streets can be challenging, especially during peak hours.

Airport Shuttle

Shared shuttle services operate on fixed schedules between Istanbul Airport and Beyoglu. These require advance booking and involve multiple hotel stops, potentially extending journey time to 2-3 hours. Limited luggage space and fixed departure times can make this option less convenient for travelers with specific scheduling needs.

Taxi Service

Regular taxis are available at Istanbul Airport's designated taxi stands. The journey typically costs between 600-800 TL, depending on traffic conditions.
