Transportation Options

Public Transport

Public transportation from Sabiha Gokcen Airport to Sultanahmet requires multiple transfers. The journey starts with the HAVABUS to Kadıköy, followed by a ferry crossing to Eminönü, and finally a tram to Sultanahmet. This complex route typically takes 2-2.5 hours and can be challenging with luggage, especially during peak hours.

Airport Shuttle

Shared shuttle services operate on fixed schedules from Sabiha Gokcen Airport. While more economical than private transfers, they involve multiple hotel stops, extending journey times significantly. The service doesn't offer door-to-door convenience, potentially requiring additional walking with luggage through Sultanahmet's historic streets.

Taxi

Yellow taxis are available at Sabiha Gokcen Airport, but the long-distance journey can be costly with variable pricing based on traffic conditions. During peak hours, the trip may extend beyond 90 minutes, and communication can be challenging. The narrow streets of Sultanahmet may also present access difficulties for regular taxis.
