Transportation Options from Sabiha Gokcen Airport

Public Transport

Public transportation from Sabiha Gokcen Airport involves multiple transfers. The journey starts with the HAVABUS to Kadikoy, followed by a ferry crossing to Kabatas, and finally a short uphill walk or funicular ride to Taksim. This complex route typically takes 100-120 minutes, depending on traffic and ferry schedules. Managing luggage through various transportation modes can be challenging, especially during peak hours.

Airport Shuttle

Shared shuttle services operate on fixed schedules between Sabiha Gokcen Airport and central Istanbul. These require advance booking and make multiple stops, potentially extending journey time to 120-150 minutes. Limited luggage space and rigid departure times make this option less convenient for hotel guests seeking comfort and flexibility.

Taxi Service

Traditional yellow taxis are available at the airport, but journey times can vary significantly from 60 to 100 minutes depending on traffic conditions. Prices fluctuate based on traffic and time of day, and some drivers may be unfamiliar with the specific location of InterContinental Istanbul. Communication can be challenging, and vehicle quality varies considerably.
