Transportation Options

Public Transport

The journey from Sabiha Gokcen Airport requires multiple transfers, starting with the HAVABUS to Kadıköy, followed by a ferry to Eminönü, and finally a bus or taxi to Fener & Balat. This complex route typically takes 2.5-3 hours, depending on traffic and connection times. Managing luggage through various transport changes can be challenging, especially during peak hours.

Airport Shuttle

Shared shuttle services operate on fixed schedules with multiple stops, extending the 52.2 km journey time significantly.

Service availability is limited during early morning and late night hours.

Taxi Service

Standard taxis from Sabiha Gokcen Airport to Hira Hotel can be unpredictable in terms of pricing and availability.
