Transportation Options

Public Transport

Using public transportation from Sabiha Gokcen requires multiple transfers. Start with the HAVABUS to Kadıköy, then take a ferry to Eminönü, followed by a tram to Sultanahmet. This journey typically takes 2-2.5 hours, depending on traffic and connection times. Managing luggage through these transfers can be challenging, especially during peak hours.

Airport Shuttle

Shared shuttle services operate on fixed schedules with multiple hotel stops along the route. While more economical than private transfers, the journey can take up to 3 hours due to additional pickups and drop-offs. Limited luggage space and strict departure times make this option less convenient for many travelers.

Taxi

Regular taxis are available at the airport, but journey times and costs can vary significantly depending on traffic conditions. During peak hours, the trip can take over 90 minutes. Drivers may not be familiar with smaller hotels in the narrow streets of Sultanahmet, potentially leading to difficulties finding the exact location.
