Transportation Options

Public Transport

Public transportation from Sabiha Gokcen Airport requires multiple transfers. The journey starts with the HAVABUS to Kadıköy, followed by a ferry crossing and tram or bus connections to Fatih. This option involves handling luggage through various transfers and can take up to 2.5 hours, depending on connection times.

Airport Shuttle

Shared shuttle services operate on fixed schedules with multiple hotel stops, extending journey times unpredictably. Limited luggage space and preset routes make this option less convenient for travelers to Fatih, especially during peak hours or with substantial baggage.

Taxi

Standard taxis are available but often present challenges with route familiarity and varying price quotes. Traffic conditions can significantly impact fares, and communication barriers may complicate the journey to the specific hotel location in Fatih's narrow streets.
