Transportation Options

Public Transport

Public transportation from Istanbul Airport requires multiple transfers. The journey starts with the IST-20 airport bus to Sultanahmet, followed by a walk to the hotel. Total journey time varies between 90-120 minutes depending on traffic conditions. While economical, managing luggage through crowded public transport can be challenging, especially during peak hours.

Airport Shuttle

Shared shuttle services operate on fixed schedules with multiple hotel stops, typically taking 2-3 hours to reach Sultanahmet. Advance booking is required, and the nearest drop-off point may require additional walking with luggage through the historic district's narrow streets.

Taxi

Traditional yellow taxis are available at the airport, but journey times can vary significantly based on traffic conditions. Prices fluctuate depending on the route taken and time of day. During peak tourist seasons, finding an available taxi willing to make the long journey can be challenging.
