The journey from Sabiha Gokcen International Airport crosses the Asian side of Istanbul, traversing the Bosphorus Bridge into Europe.

Transportation Options

Public Transport

Public transportation requires multiple transfers, starting with the HAVABUS to Kadıköy, followed by a ferry crossing to Karaköy, and a short walk to the hotel. This journey typically takes 120-150 minutes and can be challenging with luggage, especially during peak hours. The service operates from 04:00 to 01:00 daily.

Airport Shuttle

Shared shuttle services operate on fixed schedules with multiple hotel stops, extending journey times significantly. Advanced booking is required, and the service offers limited flexibility with flight delays. Drop-off points may require additional walking with luggage through Karakoy's busy streets.

Taxi

Standard taxis are available at the airport, but prices can vary significantly based on traffic and route selection. During peak hours, finding a taxi willing to cross to the European side can be challenging. Vehicle quality and comfort levels are inconsistent, and communication may be difficult for international travelers.
