Transportation Options

Public Transport

While public transportation from Sabiha Gokcen Airport to Sultanahmet is available, it involves multiple transfers and can be challenging with luggage. The journey requires taking the HAVABUS to Taksim, followed by metro and tram connections, typically taking 100-120 minutes depending on traffic and wait times. The final walk to Basilica GuestHouse may be difficult with heavy bags on historic cobblestone streets.

Airport Shuttle

Shared shuttle services operate on fixed schedules between Sabiha Gokcen Airport and Sultanahmet. However, these services involve multiple hotel stops, extending journey times significantly. Limited luggage space and strict departure times make this option less convenient for travelers seeking comfort and flexibility.

Standard taxis are available at Sabiha Gokcen Airport, but journey times and costs can vary significantly based on traffic conditions. During peak hours, the 46.6 km journey can take up to 90 minutes. Taxi availability and vehicle conditions may vary, particularly during busy periods.
