Transportation Options

Public Transport

Public transportation requires multiple transfers, starting with the HAVABUS to Kadıköy, followed by a ferry crossing to Eminönü, and finally a tram or walk to the hotel. This journey typically takes 2-2.5 hours and can be challenging with luggage, especially during peak hours.

Airport Shuttle

Shared shuttle services operate with fixed schedules and multiple stops, extending journey times beyond 2.5 hours. Limited luggage space and preset routes make this option less convenient for reaching the narrow streets of the Old City area.

Taxi Service

While taxis are available, the cross-continental journey often results in high fares due to distance and traffic. Journey times can vary significantly based on traffic conditions, especially during rush hours on the Bosphorus Bridge.
