Public transportation from Sabiha Gokcen Airport requires multiple transfers. The journey starts with the HAVABUS to Kadıköy, followed by a ferry crossing to Eminönü, and finally a tram to Sultanahmet. This complex route typically takes 120-150 minutes, proving challenging with luggage and during peak hours. Service frequency varies throughout the day, with limited options in early morning and late evening hours.
Shared shuttle services operate on fixed schedules between Sabiha Gokcen Airport and Sultanahmet. While more affordable than private options, they involve multiple hotel stops, extending journey time to over 150 minutes. Limited luggage space and rigid departure times make this option less convenient for many travelers, especially those with early or late flights.
