Transportation Options

Public Transport

Reaching The Bosphorus House from Istanbul Airport by public transportation requires multiple transfers. The journey involves taking the IST-1 airport bus to Yenikapi, then connecting to the Marmaray line to Uskudar station, followed by a 10-minute walk or short taxi ride. This route typically takes 100-120 minutes depending on traffic and connection times. Managing luggage through multiple transfers can be challenging, especially during peak hours.

Airport Shuttle

Shared airport shuttles operate on fixed schedules with multiple stops along the route. The service requires advance booking and may take up to 3 hours due to other hotel drop-offs. The nearest shuttle stop is not directly at The Bosphorus House, requiring additional transportation to reach the hotel. Limited luggage space and fixed departure times make this option less convenient for many travelers.

Taxi Service

Standard taxis from Istanbul Airport to Uskudar face variable pricing influenced by traffic conditions and time of day. The 52.1 km journey typically takes 60-90 minutes, depending on traffic across the bridges. During peak hours or adverse weather conditions, finding an available taxi willing to cross to the Asian side can be challenging. Vehicle quality and comfort levels vary significantly between taxis.
