Location Overview

The Kalyon Hotel enjoys a prime position in Istanbul's historic Sultanahmet district, directly overlooking the Marmara Sea along Kennedy Avenue. Widely recognized by international guests, this hotel stands out for its exceptional location near iconic landmarks like the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia. The journey from Sabiha Gokcen Airport crosses the Asian side of Istanbul, offering glimpses of both modern and historic districts before reaching the ancient peninsula.

The 48-kilometer route typically traverses the E-80 highway, crossing the Bosphorus Bridge into Europe, followed by the coastal road along the Marmara Sea. This journey showcases Istanbul's unique cross-continental character, passing through vibrant districts like Kadıköy and Üsküdar before reaching the historic peninsula.

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 to Eminönü and a tram to Sultanahmet. This option takes approximately 2.5 hours and can be challenging with luggage, especially during peak hours.

Airport Shuttle

Shared shuttle services operate on fixed schedules with multiple hotel stops, extending journey time significantly. Limited luggage space and preset departure times make this option less convenient for travelers seeking flexibility. The service may not accommodate early morning or late-night flights.

Taxi

Standard taxis are available but present several challenges. Prices can vary significantly based on traffic conditions, and the long cross-city journey often leads to hefty fares. During peak hours, the journey can extend beyond 90 minutes, and vehicle quality isn't guaranteed.
