Transportation Options

Public Transport

Public transportation from Sabiha Gokcen Airport requires multiple transitions. The journey starts with the HAVABUS to Kadıköy, followed by a ferry crossing to Karaköy, and finally a short walk or tram ride to Galata. This complex journey typically takes 2-2.5 hours, depending on connection times and traffic conditions. Managing luggage through various transportation modes can be challenging, especially during peak hours.

Airport Shuttle

Shared shuttle services operate from Sabiha Gokcen Airport but follow fixed schedules with multiple hotel stops. The journey time is unpredictable due to various pickup points and can extend beyond 3 hours. Limited luggage space and rigid departure times make this option less convenient for travelers seeking comfort and efficiency.
