Transportation Options

Public Transport

Reaching Hotel Valide Sultan Konagi from Sabiha Gokcen Airport by public transportation requires multiple transfers. The journey starts with the HAVABUS to Kadıköy, followed by a ferry crossing to Eminönü, and finally a tram or short taxi ride 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 on fixed schedules between Sabiha Gokcen Airport and Sultanahmet. While more affordable than private options, these services make multiple stops at different hotels, significantly extending journey time to 2.5-3 hours. Limited luggage space and inflexible departure times can make this option less convenient for many travelers.

Taxi

Standard taxis are available at Sabiha Gokcen Airport, but the journey to Sultanahmet can be unpredictable. Fare meters run high due to the 48.6 km distance, and prices vary significantly based on traffic conditions. During peak hours, finding a taxi willing to make the long cross-city journey can be challenging, and vehicle quality isn't guaranteed.
