Transportation Options

Public Transport

Public transportation from Sabiha Gokcen Airport requires multiple transfers. Start with the HAVABUS to Taksim, followed by a walk or additional transit to reach the hotel. This journey typically takes 2+ hours, depending on traffic and connection times, and can be challenging with luggage on crowded vehicles.

Airport Shuttle

Shared shuttle services operate on fixed schedules with multiple stops, extending the journey time significantly. Limited luggage space and preset routes mean less flexibility and comfort, particularly during peak travel seasons when vehicles can be fully booked.

Taxi

While taxis are available at the airport, the cross-city journey can be costly with variable pricing based on traffic conditions. During peak hours, finding a taxi willing to make the long journey can be challenging, and communication issues may arise with international travelers.
