Transportation Options

Public Transport

Public transportation from Sabiha Gokcen Airport to Sultanahmet requires multiple transfers. The journey starts with the HAVABUS to Kadıköy, followed by a ferry crossing to Eminönü, and finally a tram or walk to the hotel. This option takes approximately 2.5 hours, depending on connection times and traffic. Managing luggage through various transport changes can be challenging, especially during peak hours.
