Transportation Options

Public Transport

Public transportation from Sabiha Gokcen Airport requires multiple transfers. The journey starts with the HAVABUS to Kadıköy, followed by a ferry crossing to Eminönü, and finally a tram or walk to Sultanahmet. This option takes approximately 2.5 hours, involves handling luggage across various transfers, and can be challenging during peak hours or adverse weather conditions.

Airport Shuttle

Shared shuttle services operate on fixed schedules with multiple hotel stops along the route. While economical, the service requires advance booking and offers limited flexibility with departure times. The journey time can extend beyond 3 hours due to multiple passenger pick-ups and drop-offs, with no guarantees for flight delay accommodation.

Taxi

Standard taxis are available at the airport, but the long-distance journey often leads to variable pricing based on traffic conditions. During peak hours, finding a taxi willing to make the cross-city journey can be challenging. Vehicle quality and comfort levels vary significantly, and communication might be difficult for international travelers.
