Transportation Options

Public Transport

While public transportation is available from Sabiha Gokcen Airport, the journey to Galatower Hotel is complex, requiring multiple transfers. The route typically involves taking the HAVABUS to Taksim, followed by either a taxi or a challenging walk with luggage through Beyoglu's steep streets. The total journey can take 100-120 minutes depending on traffic and connection times.

Airport Shuttle

Shared shuttle services operate on fixed schedules from Sabiha Gokcen Airport but require advance booking. The service includes multiple hotel stops, potentially extending journey time to over 2.5 hours. Limited luggage space and inflexible departure times can make this option less convenient for hotel guests.

Taxi

Regular taxis are available at Sabiha Gokcen Airport, but the 48.8 km journey can be costly and time-consuming.
