The journey from Sabiha Gokcen Airport to Hotel Poem requires multiple transfers. Start with the HAVABUS to Taksim, then take the funicular to Kabatas, followed by the T1 tram to Sultanahmet. This journey typically takes 2-2.5 hours, depending on traffic and connection times. Managing luggage through various transfers can be challenging, especially during peak hours or adverse weather conditions.
