Transportation Options

Public Transport

While public transportation is available from Istanbul Airport to Sultanahmet, the journey involves multiple transfers. The primary route combines the HAVAIST airport shuttle to Yenikapi, followed by a tram connection to Sultanahmet station. Total journey time typically exceeds 120 minutes, depending on traffic and connection times. Managing luggage on public transport 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 include multiple hotel stops, extending journey times to over 150 minutes. Limited luggage space and rigid departure schedules can make this option less convenient for travelers with specific timing needs.

Taxi

Standard taxis are available at Istanbul Airport's official taxi stands. The journey to Megara Palace Hotel typically takes 70-90 minutes, depending on traffic conditions. Fares vary significantly based on traffic and time of day. Vehicle quality and comfort levels can be inconsistent, and communication may be challenging for international travelers.
