Transportation Options

Public Transport

Public transportation from Sabiha Gokcen Airport requires multiple transfers. The journey starts with the HAVABUS to Kadıköy, followed by a ferry crossing and tram connection. This option typically takes 2-2.5 hours, involving considerable walking with luggage and can be challenging during peak hours or adverse weather conditions.

Airport Shuttle

Shared shuttle services operate on fixed schedules with multiple hotel stops, extending the journey time significantly. The service requires advance booking and offers limited flexibility with departure times. During peak tourist seasons, vehicles can become crowded, affecting comfort levels with limited space for luggage.
