The journey from Sabiha Gokcen Airport crosses the Asian side of Istanbul, offering panoramic views as you traverse the Bosphorus Bridge into Europe.

Journey duration varies between 50-85 minutes depending on traffic conditions, particularly during rush hours on the bridge crossing.

Transportation Options

Public Transport

Public transportation requires multiple connections, starting with the HAVABUS to Kadıköy, followed by a ferry crossing and tram journey. This complex route can take up to 2.5 hours and proves challenging with luggage, especially during peak hours or adverse weather conditions.

Airport Shuttle

Shared shuttle services operate on fixed schedules with multiple hotel stops, extending journey times significantly. Limited luggage space and inflexible departure times can make this option inconvenient for travelers to Sultanahmet area.

Taxi

While taxis are available at the airport, the cross-city journey often involves variable pricing and potential communication challenges. Traffic conditions can significantly impact both journey time and cost, particularly during rush hours or adverse weather.
