Castle Franco Suites welcomes guests in the heart of historic Fatih, Istanbul's heritage-rich old city district. This boutique property sits in an area where Byzantine and Ottoman landmarks create an enchanting historical atmosphere. The journey from Sabiha Gokcen Airport crosses the Asian side of Istanbul, offering guests glimpses of both contemporary and historical Istanbul across two continents.
The 46.8 km route typically follows the E-5 highway and crosses the Bosphorus Bridge, showcasing stunning water views before entering the historical peninsula. The surrounding area features the Grand Bazaar, Hagia Sophia, and Blue Mosque all within walking distance, making it a perfect base for exploring Istanbul's most iconic attractions.
Public transportation from Sabiha Gokcen Airport requires multiple transfers. Start with the HAVABUS to Kadıköy, then take a ferry to Eminönü, followed by a tram or taxi to reach Castle Franco Suites. This journey typically takes 2-2.5 hours and can be challenging with luggage, especially during peak hours.
Shared shuttle services operate on fixed schedules with multiple stops, extending journey times significantly. The nearest drop-off point may require additional walking with luggage through the narrow streets of Fatih. Advanced booking is necessary, and services may be limited during early morning or late night hours.
Regular taxis are available at the airport, but journey times and costs can vary significantly depending on traffic conditions. During peak hours, the trip may take up to two hours. Language barriers and unfamiliarity with the exact hotel location in Fatih's historic streets can present additional challenges.
