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 to Karaköy, and a short walk to the hotel. This complex route typically takes 100-120 minutes, depending on traffic and ferry schedules. Managing luggage through various transport changes can be challenging, especially during peak hours.

Airport Shuttle

Shared shuttle services operate on fixed schedules from Sabiha Gokcen Airport. While more economical than private transfers, they involve multiple hotel stops, extending journey time to approximately 2.5-3 hours. Limited luggage space and rigid departure times make this option less convenient for travelers valuing comfort and flexibility.

Taxi

Standard taxis are available at Sabiha Gokcen Airport, but journey times can vary significantly from 60-90 minutes depending on traffic conditions.
