Transportation Options

Public Transport

Public transportation from Sabiha Gokcen Airport requires multiple transfers. Start with the HAVABUS to Kadikoy, then take a ferry to Eminonu, followed by a tram to Sultanahmet. This journey typically takes 2.5-3 hours and can be challenging with luggage, especially during peak hours.

Airport Shuttle

Shared shuttle services operate on fixed schedules with multiple hotel stops throughout the city. While budget-friendly, the journey time can extend significantly due to various pickup and drop-off points, often taking up to 3 hours to reach Sultanahmet.

Taxi

Standard taxis are available at the airport, but prices can vary significantly based on traffic and route selection.
