Transportation Options

Public Transport

Reaching Ares Hotel from Sabiha Gokcen Airport by public transport requires multiple transfers. The journey starts with the HAVABUS to Kadıköy, followed by a ferry to Eminönü, and finally a tram to Sultanahmet. This complex route typically takes 2-2.5 hours and can be challenging with luggage, especially during peak hours. Service frequency varies throughout the day, with limited options in early morning or late evening.

Airport Shuttle

Shared shuttle services operate on fixed schedules between Sabiha Gokcen Airport and Sultanahmet. While more economical than private transfers, they involve multiple hotel stops, extending journey time to 2-3 hours. Limited luggage space and rigid departure times make this option less convenient for many travelers. Additionally, the shuttle stop may require walking some distance with luggage to reach Ares Hotel.

Taxi Service

Standard yellow taxis are available at Sabiha Gokcen Airport, but the 46.6 km journey can be unpredictable. Journey times vary significantly based on traffic conditions, ranging from 60 to 100 minutes. Pricing can fluctuate, and communication might be challenging. During peak hours or adverse weather, finding an available taxi willing to make the long journey can be difficult.
