Sabiha Gokcen Airport (SAW) to Modern Sultan Hotel Transportation Options

Location Overview

The Modern Sultan Hotel stands in the heart of Istanbul's historic Sultanahmet district, perfectly positioned among the city's most treasured landmarks. This boutique property consistently receives recognition from international travelers for its prime location, just steps away from the Hagia Sophia and Blue Mosque. The journey from Sabiha Gokcen Airport crosses the Asian side of Istanbul, offering glimpses of both contemporary and historic neighborhoods before reaching the ancient peninsula.

The 46.6 km route typically follows the E80 highway, crossing the Bosphorus Bridge into Europe, then following the coastal road through Kadıköy, Üsküdar, and along the scenic Bosphorus shore. During this journey, travelers witness Istanbul's unique blend of Asian and European influences, ultimately arriving at the cobblestone streets of Sultanahmet.

Transportation Options

Public Transport

Public transportation from Sabiha Gokcen Airport requires multiple transfers. Travelers must take the HAVABUS to Kadıköy, then a ferry to Eminönü, followed by a tram or walk to Sultanahmet. This journey 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 with multiple hotel stops along the route. While more economical than private transfers, the journey time is unpredictable and can extend beyond 2.5 hours due to other passenger drop-offs. Advanced booking is required, and early morning or late night availability is limited.

Taxi

Regular taxis offer a direct route but present several challenges. Journey times vary significantly based on traffic conditions, and prices can fluctuate. During peak hours, finding a taxi willing to make the cross-city journey may be difficult, and language barriers can complicate communication about the specific hotel location in Sultanahmet's narrow streets.
