Transportation Options

Public Transport

The journey from Istanbul Airport using public transportation requires multiple transfers. The primary route involves taking the IST-20 airport bus to Yenikapi, followed by either the Marmaray or M2 metro line to Sultanahmet. This journey typically takes 90-120 minutes, depending on traffic and transfer timing. Carrying luggage through crowded stations and walking to the hotel can be challenging, especially during peak hours.

Airport Shuttle

Shared shuttle services operate on fixed schedules between Istanbul Airport and Sultanahmet. While more economical than private options, they involve multiple hotel stops, extending journey time to approximately 2-3 hours. Limited luggage space and preset departure times may not suit all travelers, particularly those arriving on early morning or late night flights.

Taxi

Standard yellow taxis are available at Istanbul Airport's designated taxi ranks. The journey to Gulec Hotel typically takes 60-90 minutes, depending on traffic conditions. Prices can vary significantly based on traffic and route taken. During peak hours, finding an available taxi can be challenging, and communication might be difficult for international travelers.
