Transportation Options

Public Transport

Reaching Ararat Hotel from Sabiha Gokcen Airport via public transportation requires multiple transfers. The journey starts with the HAVABUS to Kadıköy, followed by a ferry to Eminönü and a tram to Sultanahmet. This complex route typically takes 2-2.5 hours, 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 to Sultanahmet can extend beyond 2 hours due to other passenger drop-offs. Limited luggage space and rigid departure times make this option less convenient for travelers seeking comfort and flexibility.
