Transportation Options

Public Transport

The journey from Sabiha Gokcen Airport requires multiple transfers, starting with the HAVABUS to Kadikoy, followed by a ferry to Eminonu, and finally a tram to Sultanahmet. This complex route typically takes 100-120 minutes, excluding waiting times. Managing luggage through various transport changes can be challenging, especially during peak hours or adverse weather conditions.

Airport Shuttle

Shared shuttle services operate on fixed schedules with multiple hotel stops throughout Istanbul. The journey can extend beyond 2.5 hours due to other passenger pickups and dropoffs. Limited luggage space and rigid departure times make this option less suitable for many travelers, particularly those with early or late flights.

Taxi Service

Standard taxis cover the 48.4 km route in varying times, typically 60-90 minutes depending on traffic conditions. Journey costs fluctuate significantly based on traffic and time of day. Vehicle quality and comfort levels can be inconsistent, and communication barriers may pose challenges for international visitors.
