Transportation Options

Public Transport

The journey from Sabiha Gokcen Airport involves multiple transfers. Take the HAVABUS to Kadikoy, then ferry to Karakoy, followed by a short walk or tram ride. This route typically takes 100-120 minutes, challenging with luggage and subject to traffic and ferry schedules. While economical, it's not recommended for those unfamiliar with Istanbul's transport system or traveling with heavy bags.

Airport Shuttle

Shared shuttle services operate on fixed schedules between Sabiha Gokcen Airport and central Istanbul. The journey involves multiple hotel stops, extending travel time to approximately 2.5 hours. Limited luggage space and inflexible departure times make this option less convenient for hotel guests, particularly during peak seasons or late arrivals.

Taxi Service

Regular taxis are available at the airport, but the 44.5 km journey can be unpredictable. Fares vary significantly based on traffic conditions, which are particularly challenging during rush hours. Vehicle quality and comfort levels are inconsistent, and finding a taxi willing to make the long cross-city journey can be difficult during busy periods.
