Transportation Options

Public Transport

Public transportation from Sabiha Gokcen Airport requires multiple transfers. The journey starts with the HAVABUS to Kadikoy, followed by a ferry crossing to Eminonu, and finally a tram to Sultanahmet. This complex route typically takes 2-2.5 hours, challenging with luggage and subject to traffic and ferry schedules. The total journey can be particularly strenuous during peak hours or adverse weather conditions.

Airport Shuttle

Shared shuttle services operate on fixed schedules between Sabiha Gokcen Airport and Sultanahmet. While more affordable than private options, these services involve multiple hotel stops, extending journey times to over 2 hours. Limited luggage space and rigid departure times can create additional stress, especially after long flights.

Taxi

Standard taxis are available at Sabiha Gokcen Airport, but the 48.3 km journey can be expensive and unpredictable. Journey times vary significantly based on traffic conditions, ranging from 60 to 90 minutes. Factors like finding a taxi during peak hours and potential communication barriers can add complexity to the journey.
