Public Transport

Reaching Kariye Hotel from Istanbul Airport via public transportation requires multiple transfers. The journey involves taking the IST-20 airport bus to Mecidiyeköy, followed by metro and bus connections. The total journey typically takes 100-120 minutes, and the irregular terrain of Fener & Balat makes luggage handling particularly challenging.
