Transportation Options

Public Transport

Public transportation requires multiple transfers, starting with the HAVABUS to Kadıköy, followed by a ferry crossing and tram connection. This journey typically takes 2-2.5 hours, depending on traffic and connection times. Managing luggage through various transport changes can be challenging, especially during peak hours.

Airport Shuttle

Shared shuttle services operate on fixed schedules with multiple hotel stops, extending journey time to approximately 3 hours. Limited luggage space and inflexible departure times can make this option less convenient for travelers arriving at off-peak hours.

Taxi

While taxis are readily available at the airport, the cross-continental journey often involves variable pricing, especially during rush hours. The route through heavy traffic can lead to uncertain arrival times, and communication challenges may arise with drivers.
