Transportation Options

Public Transport

While public transportation from Sabiha Gokcen Airport is available, the journey involves multiple transfers. You'll need to take the HAVABUS to Kadıköy, followed by a ferry to Eminönü, and finally a tram or short taxi ride to the hotel. This complex route typically takes 2-2.5 hours and can be challenging with luggage, especially during peak hours.

Airport Shuttle

Shared shuttle services operate between Sabiha Gokcen Airport and the Grand Bazaar area. However, these services follow fixed schedules with multiple stops, potentially extending your journey time beyond 2 hours. Limited luggage space and strict departure times may not accommodate flight delays or early morning/late night arrivals.

Taxi

Traditional yellow taxis are available at the airport, but the 51.8 km journey can be costly due to variable traffic conditions. Journey times typically range from 60-90 minutes, depending on traffic. Drivers may not always be familiar with specific hotel locations in the narrow streets of the Grand Bazaar area.
