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 to Eminönü, and finally a tram or short walk to the hotel. This complex route typically takes 120-150 minutes, depending on traffic and connection times. Managing luggage across various transport modes can be challenging, especially during peak hours.

Airport Shuttle

Shared airport shuttles operate on fixed schedules with multiple stops along the route. While more economical than private transfers, the service requires advance booking and doesn't accommodate flight delays. The journey can take up to 160 minutes due to numerous hotel stops, and the nearest shuttle drop-off point may require additional walking with luggage.

Taxi

Traditional yellow taxis are available at the airport, but journey times can vary significantly based on traffic conditions, potentially ranging from 70 to 120 minutes. Prices fluctuate depending on traffic and time of day, and finding a taxi willing to make the cross-city journey may be challenging during peak hours. Vehicle quality and comfort levels can be inconsistent.
