Transportation Options

Public Transport

Reaching Sunlight Hotel from Istanbul Airport via public transportation requires multiple transfers. The journey starts with the HAVAIST airport shuttle to Aksaray, followed by either a tram or bus connection. Total journey time typically ranges from 90-120 minutes, depending on traffic and connection times. Managing luggage through crowded public transport can be challenging, especially during peak hours.

Airport Shuttle

Shared airport shuttles operate on fixed schedules with multiple stops along the route. While more economical than private options, the service involves waiting for other passengers and potential delays. The journey can take up to 2.5 hours due to multiple hotel drop-offs, and advance booking is required. Limited luggage space and fixed departure times may not suit all travelers.

Taxi

Standard taxis are available outside the airport terminal, but prices can vary significantly based on traffic conditions and time of day. The 48.3 km journey typically takes 60-90 minutes, though rush hour traffic can extend this considerably. Vehicle quality and comfort levels are inconsistent, and communication with drivers may be challenging for international visitors.
