Transportation Options

Public Transport

Reaching The Stay Bosphorus from Istanbul Airport via public transportation requires multiple transfers. The journey involves taking the HAVAIST airport bus to Besiktas, followed by a local bus or taxi to reach the hotel. The total journey typically takes 90-120 minutes, depending on traffic conditions. Managing luggage through transfers can be challenging, especially during peak hours or adverse weather conditions.

Airport Shuttle

Shared airport shuttles offer limited service to the Besiktas area. These services operate on fixed schedules with multiple stops, extending journey times significantly. Advance booking is required, and the nearest drop-off point may still require additional walking with luggage. The shared nature of the service means less flexibility with flight delays and limited space for baggage.

Taxi

Standard taxis are available at Istanbul Airport, but the journey can be unpredictable. Fares vary significantly based on traffic conditions and time of day. The 43.4 km route typically takes 45-70 minutes, depending on traffic. During peak hours, finding an available taxi can be challenging, and vehicle quality varies considerably.
