Transportation Options

Public Transport

The journey starts with the HAVABUS to Kadıköy, followed by a ferry crossing to Eminönü, and finally a tram or short taxi ride to the hotel. This complex route typically takes 120-150 minutes, depending on traffic and connection times. While economical, managing luggage through various transport changes can be challenging, especially during peak hours.
