Transportation Options

Public Transport

Reaching Hotel Mina from Sabiha Gokcen Airport via public transport requires multiple transfers. The journey starts with the HAVABUS to Kadıköy, followed by a ferry crossing to Eminönü, and finally a tram or short walk to Sultanahmet. This complex route typically takes 2-2.5 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 from Sabiha Gokcen Airport but follow fixed schedules with multiple hotel stops. The journey can extend beyond 2 hours due to passenger pickups and dropoffs. Limited luggage space and strict departure times make this option less convenient for travelers seeking flexibility. Advanced booking is required, and services may be limited during early morning or late evening hours.

Taxi Service

Regular taxis are available at Sabiha Gokcen Airport, but journey times and costs can vary significantly based on traffic conditions. The 46.6 km route typically takes 60-90 minutes, though this can extend during peak hours. Drivers may not be familiar with Hotel Mina's exact location in the narrow streets of Sultanahmet, potentially leading to additional time finding the entrance.
