Transportation Options

Public Transport

Reaching Amara Old City Hotel & Spa from Sabiha Gokcen Airport via public transportation requires multiple transfers. The journey starts with the HAVABUS to Kadıköy, followed by a ferry crossing to Eminönü, and finally a short walk or tram ride. This complex route typically takes 100-120 minutes, depending on traffic and connection times. Managing luggage through various transport changes can be challenging, especially during peak hours.

Airport Shuttle

Shared shuttle services operate from Sabiha Gokcen Airport but follow fixed schedules with multiple hotel stops. The journey can extend beyond 2.5 hours due to other passenger pickups and dropoffs. Limited luggage space and inflexible departure times make this option less convenient for hotel guests, particularly those arriving on early morning or late evening flights.

Taxi Service

Standard yellow taxis are available at Sabiha Gokcen Airport, but the 47.2 km journey can be expensive with variable pricing based on traffic conditions. Journey times fluctuate significantly depending on traffic, ranging from 60 to 100 minutes. During peak hours, finding an available taxi can be challenging, and drivers might be unfamiliar with the hotel's specific location in the historic district.
