Transportation Options

Public Transport

Reaching Golden Sail Hotel from Sabiha Gokcen Airport via public transportation requires multiple transfers. The journey starts with the HAVABUS to Kadıköy, followed by a ferry crossing to Eminönü, and finally a tram or short taxi ride to the hotel. This complex route typically takes 2-2.5 hours and can be challenging with luggage, especially during peak hours.

Airport Shuttle

Shared shuttle services operate from Sabiha Gokcen Airport but require advance booking and follow fixed schedules. The journey involves multiple hotel stops, extending travel time to over 2 hours. Limited luggage space and lack of flexibility with flight delays make this option less convenient for hotel guests.

Taxi

Regular taxis are available at the airport, but the 49.7 km journey can be costly with variable pricing based on traffic conditions. Travel time ranges from 60 to 100 minutes depending on traffic density. During peak hours, finding an available taxi can be challenging, and communication might be difficult for international travelers.
