Transportation Options

Public Transport

Reaching Mount Ararat Hotel from Sabiha Gokcen Airport via public transportation requires multiple transfers. Take the HAVABUS to Kadıköy, then cross to the European side via ferry, followed by a tram or bus to Fatih. The journey typically takes 2-2.5 hours, depending on traffic and connection times. This option can be challenging with luggage and during peak hours.

Limited luggage space and lack of flexibility with flight delays can make this option inconvenient.
