Transportation Options

Public Transport

Reaching Konya Pension via public transportation requires multiple transfers. The journey starts with the HAVAIST airport shuttle to Sultanahmet, followed by a walk through narrow streets. Total journey time can exceed 120 minutes during peak hours, with limited space for luggage on crowded buses. While economical, this option presents challenges with baggage handling and navigation.

Airport Shuttle

Shared airport shuttles offer fixed-schedule services to Sultanahmet, but require advance booking and operate on predetermined routes with multiple stops. This extends journey time to approximately 100-150 minutes. Limited luggage space and inflexible departure times can complicate travel plans, especially for early or late arrivals.

Taxi

Standard taxis are available at Istanbul Airport, but journey times vary significantly with traffic conditions. Fares fluctuate based on traffic and exact route taken. During peak hours, finding a taxi willing to make the journey to Sultanahmet can be challenging. Vehicle conditions and comfort levels vary considerably.
