The route takes you from the Asian side, across the Bosphorus Bridge, offering spectacular views of the strait before descending into the European side through the coastal road. This transfer typically involves crossing through Kadikoy, the bridge connection, and following the coastal route through Uskudar and Besiktas before reaching Karakoy.

Transportation Options

Public Transport

While public transportation is available, the journey requires multiple transitions. You'll need to take the HAVABUS to Kadikoy, then a ferry to Karakoy, followed by a walk to the hotel. This option can be challenging with luggage and typically takes 90-120 minutes depending on connection times and traffic conditions.

Airport Shuttle

Shared shuttle services operate on fixed schedules between Sabiha Gokcen Airport and various city locations. However, these services often include multiple stops, extending journey times significantly. Additionally, you may need to arrange separate transportation from the shuttle drop-off point to reach the Morione Hotel.

Taxi

Regular taxis are available at the airport, but prices can vary significantly based on traffic conditions and time of day. During peak hours, the journey can take up to 2 hours. Drivers may not always be familiar with the specific location in Karakoy, and communication can be challenging.
