Catch Hotel enjoys a prime location in Istanbul's historic Sultanahmet district, the heart of the Old City. Situated along Kennedy Avenue, the hotel provides guests with immediate access to iconic landmarks including the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia. The area is characterized by its rich Byzantine and Ottoman heritage, cobblestone streets, and vibrant tourist atmosphere.
The journey from Sabiha Gokcen International Airport spans approximately 48 kilometers, crossing from the Asian side to the European side of Istanbul via the Bosphorus Bridge. The route typically follows the E-5 coastal highway, offering glimpses of both modern and historic Istanbul, before entering the atmospheric peninsula of the Old City.
Public transportation from Sabiha Gokcen to Sultanahmet requires multiple transfers. The journey starts with the HAVABÜS to Kadıköy, followed by a ferry crossing to Eminönü, and finally a tram to Sultanahmet. This complex journey typically takes 2-2.5 hours and can be challenging with luggage.
Shared shuttle services operate on fixed schedules with multiple hotel stops throughout the city. While budget-friendly, the journey time can extend significantly due to other passenger drop-offs, and services may not be available for early morning or late-night flights.
Regular taxis are available at the airport, but the cross-city journey can be costly with variable pricing based on traffic conditions. During peak hours, the trip can take significantly longer, and communication with drivers may be challenging for international visitors.
Ensure a seamless arrival at Catch Hotel with our premium transfer service. Our professional drivers are familiar with the optimal routes to Sultanahmet, navigating efficiently through Istanbul's cross-continental traffic.
