Transportation Options

Public Transport

Public transportation from Istanbul Airport involves taking the airport bus (HAVAIST) to Sultanahmet, followed by a walk to the hotel. The journey typically takes 90-120 minutes depending on traffic conditions. While economical, managing luggage through transfers and crowded vehicles can be challenging, especially during peak hours.

Limited luggage space, preset departure times, and the need for advance booking make this option less flexible.
