Transportation Options

Public Transport

Reaching Hotel Alp from Sabiha Gokcen Airport via public transportation requires multiple transfers. Take the HAVABUS to Kadikoy, then ferry to Eminonu, followed by a tram to Sultanahmet. This journey typically takes 2-2.5 hours, depending on traffic and connection times. Managing luggage through crowded public transport can be challenging, especially during peak hours.

Airport Shuttle

Shared shuttle services operate on fixed schedules with multiple hotel stops, extending the 48.5 km journey time significantly. Limited luggage space and preset departure times mean less flexibility for travelers. Early morning or late night arrivals may find shuttle availability limited, and the service doesn't accommodate flight delays.

Taxi

While taxis are available at the airport, the long distance to Sultanahmet means fares can vary significantly based on traffic conditions. During peak hours, the journey can take up to 2 hours. Vehicle quality and driver familiarity with the historic district can be inconsistent, potentially causing navigation delays in Sultanahmet's narrow streets.
