Transportation Options

Public Transport

The journey from Sabiha Gokcen Airport requires multiple transfers. First, take the HAVABUS to Kadikoy, then ferry to Eminonu, followed by a tram to Sultanahmet. Total journey time exceeds 2.5 hours, challenging with luggage and subject to ferry schedules. The route becomes particularly difficult during peak hours or adverse weather conditions.

Airport Shuttle

Shared shuttle services operate on fixed schedules with multiple hotel stops throughout Istanbul. The journey typically takes 3+ hours due to various pickup points and city traffic. Limited luggage space and rigid departure times make this option less convenient for travelers seeking comfort and flexibility.

Standard taxis are available at the airport, but journey times vary significantly with traffic conditions. The 48.2 km route typically takes 60-90 minutes, with fares fluctuating based on traffic and time of day.
