Transportation Options

Public Transport

While public transportation is available via the M11 metro line and IST-20 bus connection, the journey involves multiple transfers and can be challenging with luggage. The total journey typically takes 90-120 minutes, depending on connection times and traffic conditions. Walking with baggage through Sultanahmet's historic streets can be demanding due to the area's characteristic cobblestones and slopes.

Airport Shuttle

Shared shuttle services operate on fixed schedules with multiple hotel stops, extending journey times significantly. Limited luggage space and preset departure times may not align with your flight schedule. The service requires advance booking and doesn't accommodate flight delays, potentially resulting in missed connections.

Taxi

Standard taxis are readily available but present several challenges. Fares can vary significantly based on traffic conditions and route selection. During peak tourist seasons, finding an available taxi can be difficult. Vehicle quality and comfort levels are inconsistent, and communication may be challenging for international visitors.
