Public transportation from Istanbul Airport requires multiple transfers. The journey starts with the HAVAIST airport bus to Sultanahmet, followed by either a tram ride or walking to reach the hotel. Total journey time typically exceeds 90 minutes, depending on traffic and transfer waiting times. Managing luggage through crowded public transport can be challenging, especially during peak hours.
Shared shuttle services operate on fixed schedules with multiple hotel stops, extending journey times significantly. Limited luggage space and predetermined routes mean less flexibility and comfort. Advanced booking is required, and services may not accommodate early morning or late-night flights. The nearest drop-off point may require additional walking with luggage.
While taxis are readily available at the airport, journey times and costs can vary significantly based on traffic conditions. During peak hours, the trip can take up to 90 minutes. Vehicle quality and comfort levels are inconsistent, and some drivers may take longer routes, especially with foreign visitors.
