While public transportation is available from Sabiha Gokcen Airport, the journey is complex and time-consuming. You'll need to take the airport bus (HAVABUS) to Kadıköy, then cross to the European side via ferry, followed by a metro or tram ride to Grand Bazaar. This journey typically takes 2-2.5 hours and involves multiple transfers with luggage.
Shared shuttle services operate on fixed schedules from Sabiha Gokcen Airport but require advance booking and make multiple stops. The varying number of stops can extend journey time significantly, often exceeding 3 hours during peak traffic periods. Limited luggage space and lack of flexibility with flight delays are notable drawbacks.
Standard taxis are available at the airport, but the 51.8 km journey can be costly with variable pricing based on traffic conditions. During peak hours, the ride can take over 2 hours. Taxi availability and service quality can be inconsistent, especially during busy periods or adverse weather conditions.
