Transportation Options

Public Transport

The journey from Sabiha Gokcen Airport requires multiple transfers using the HAVABÜS to Taksim, followed by the T1 tram to Sultanahmet. This complex route 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 journey time beyond 3 hours. Limited luggage space and strict departure times make this option less convenient for travelers with extensive baggage or early/late flights.

Taxi

Standard taxis offer variable pricing based on traffic conditions, with journey times ranging from 60-90 minutes. Finding an available taxi during peak hours can be challenging, and vehicle quality varies significantly. The 48.7 km route often encounters heavy traffic, particularly during rush hours.
