Public transportation from Sabiha Gokcen Airport 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, depending on traffic and connection times. Managing luggage through various transport changes can be challenging, especially during peak hours.
Shared shuttle services operate on fixed schedules with multiple hotel stops, extending journey time significantly. Limited luggage space and predetermined routes mean less flexibility and comfort. The service requires advance booking and doesn't accommodate flight delays, with restricted operating hours that may not suit early or late flights.
Regular taxis are available at the airport, but journey times can vary dramatically with Istanbul's traffic. Prices fluctuate based on traffic conditions and time of day. During peak hours, finding a taxi willing to make the long journey to Sultanahmet can be challenging. Vehicle conditions and service quality are inconsistent.
