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 to Sultanahmet. This journey can take up to 2.5 hours and proves challenging with luggage, especially during peak hours. Weather conditions can significantly impact travel time, particularly during ferry crossings.

Airport Shuttle

Shared shuttle services operate on fixed schedules with multiple hotel stops throughout the city. While budget-friendly, the journey time can extend significantly due to numerous pickup points. Limited luggage space and rigid departure times make this option less convenient for many travelers arriving at Sabiha Gokcen Airport.

Taxi Service

Standard taxis are available at the airport, but journey costs can vary significantly based on traffic and route selection. During peak hours, finding an available taxi can be challenging, and many drivers prefer shorter urban routes over airport transfers. Vehicle comfort and condition can be inconsistent, potentially impacting the travel experience.
