Sabiha Gokcen Airport (SAW) to Hotel Merih Transportation Options

Transportation Options

Public Transport

Reaching Hotel Merih from Sabiha Gokcen Airport via public transportation requires multiple transfers. Take the HAVABUS to Kadıköy, then connect to the Marmaray metro line to cross under the Bosphorus to Sirkeci station. From there, it's a 15-minute uphill walk to the hotel. Total journey time can exceed 2.5 hours, challenging with luggage.

Airport Shuttle

Shared shuttle services operate from Sabiha Gokcen Airport but require advance booking and follow fixed schedules. The service includes multiple hotel stops throughout the city, potentially extending journey time to over 3 hours. Limited luggage space and varying departure times make this option less convenient for hotel guests.

Taxi

Taxis are available at Sabiha Gokcen Airport, but the journey to Sultanahmet can be unpredictable. The 46.6 km route crosses the Bosphorus Bridge, with fares varying significantly based on traffic conditions. During peak hours, the journey can take up to 2 hours, and some drivers may be hesitant to make the cross-continental trip.
