Transportation Options

Public Transport

While public transportation is available from Sabiha Gokcen Airport, the journey involves multiple transfers. You'll need to take the HAVABUS to Kadıköy, then cross to the European side via ferry, followed by either a tram or metro ride to reach the Grand Bazaar area. This complex 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 from Sabiha Gokcen Airport but require advance booking and don't offer direct drop-off at Novel Hotel. The service includes multiple stops, extending journey time significantly, and may require additional walking with luggage through the narrow streets of the Grand Bazaar area.

Taxi Service

Standard taxis are available at the airport, but the 52.1 km journey can be costly with variable pricing based on traffic conditions. During peak hours, the journey can take up to 2 hours, and finding a taxi willing to cross to the European side can be challenging. Vehicle quality and comfort levels vary considerably.
