Transportation Options

Public Transport

The journey from Istanbul Airport using public transportation requires multiple transfers. While the airport is connected by the M11 metro line, reaching Sultanahmet involves changing to either the T1 tram line or using connecting buses. The total journey typically takes 90-120 minutes, depending on connection times and traffic conditions. Managing luggage through transfers 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, these services involve multiple hotel stops, extending journey times significantly. Limited luggage space and rigid departure schedules can make this option less convenient for travelers with specific timing needs or substantial baggage.

Taxi Service

Standard taxis are available at Istanbul Airport's designated taxi stands. The journey to Ligos Hotel typically takes 60-90 minutes, heavily dependent on traffic conditions. Fare variations can be significant based on traffic and route selection, and communication might be challenging for international visitors.
