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 walk to the hotel. This option takes approximately 2 hours and can be challenging with luggage, especially during crowded times.

Airport Shuttle

Shared shuttle services operate on fixed schedules with multiple hotel stops along the route. While budget-friendly, the journey can take up to 3 hours due to various hotel drop-offs. Limited luggage space and rigid departure times make this option less convenient for many travelers.

Taxi

Standard taxis are available outside the terminal, but pricing can vary significantly based on traffic and route taken. During peak hours, finding an available taxi can be challenging, and drivers may not always be familiar with specific hotel locations in the historic peninsula.
