The journey from Sabiha Gokcen Airport requires multiple transfers. Take the HAVABUS to Kadıköy, followed by a ferry to Karaköy, and a short walk to the hotel. This journey typically takes 100-120 minutes, depending on traffic and ferry schedules. Consider that managing luggage through various transitions can be challenging, especially during peak hours.
Shared shuttle services operate on fixed schedules with multiple stops along the route. The journey can take up to 150 minutes due to other hotel drop-offs. Advanced booking is required, and early morning or late-night availability is limited. Limited luggage space and fixed pickup points may not suit all travelers.
Traditional yellow taxis cover the 44.4 km route in approximately 60-90 minutes, depending on traffic conditions. Fares vary significantly based on traffic and time of day. During peak hours, finding an available taxi at the airport can be challenging, and vehicle conditions vary considerably.
