Transportation Options

Public Transport

Public transportation requires multiple transfers, starting with the HAVABUS to Kadıköy, followed by a ferry crossing and tram connections. This journey can take up to 2.5 hours and becomes challenging with luggage, especially during peak hours. Walking distances between transfers may be uncomfortable, particularly in adverse weather conditions.

Airport Shuttle

Shared shuttle services operate on fixed schedules with multiple hotel stops, potentially extending your journey time significantly. Limited luggage space and preset departure times may not align with your flight schedule, while the nearest drop-off point might require additional walking to reach Grand Hotel Gulsoy.

Taxi Service

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 make the cross-city journey may be challenging. Vehicle quality and driver familiarity with the hotel location can be inconsistent.
