Transportation Options

Public Transport

Public transportation from Sabiha Gokcen Airport requires multiple transfers. The journey starts with the HAVABUS to Kadıköy, followed by a ferry crossing to Eminönü, and finally a tram or walking to Sultanahmet. This option takes approximately 2.5 hours, requires managing luggage between transfers, and can be challenging for first-time visitors.

Airport Shuttle

Shared shuttle services operate on fixed schedules with multiple hotel stops throughout Istanbul. While budget-friendly, the journey time can extend beyond 3 hours due to various pickup points. Limited luggage space and rigid departure times make this option less convenient for many travelers.

Taxi Service

Standard taxis are available at the airport, but the long-distance journey often leads to substantial meter charges. Traffic conditions, especially during rush hours, can significantly impact both travel time and cost. Language barriers and unfamiliarity with the historic district's narrow streets can present additional challenges.
