Transportation Options

Public Transport

The journey from Sabiha Gokcen Airport requires multiple transfers. Take the HAVABUS to Kadıköy, then ferry to Eminönü, followed by a tram to Sultanahmet. This route typically takes 2-2.5 hours, depending on traffic and ferry schedules. Managing luggage through various transfers can be challenging, especially during peak hours or adverse weather conditions.

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. The service requires advance booking and doesn't accommodate flight delays, potentially causing missed connections.

Taxi Service

Standard taxis are available at the airport, but journey times can vary significantly due to Istanbul's unpredictable traffic. The 46.9 km route typically takes 1-1.5 hours, with fares fluctuating based on traffic conditions. Vehicle quality and comfort levels can be inconsistent, especially during peak travel times.
