Transportation Options

Public Transport

Public transportation from Sabiha Gokcen Airport requires multiple connections. The journey starts with the HAVABUS to Kadikoy, followed by a ferry crossing to Karakoy. This option involves managing luggage through various transport changes and can take 100-120 minutes depending on connection times. While economical, it's challenging with heavy luggage and during peak hours.

Airport Shuttle

Shared shuttle services operate on fixed schedules between Sabiha Gokcen and various Istanbul hotels. These require advance booking and multiple hotel stops, extending journey time significantly. Limited luggage space and rigid departure times make this option less convenient for many travelers.

Taxi

Regular taxis are available at the airport, but prices can vary significantly based on traffic conditions and time of day. The cross-continental journey often faces unpredictable traffic patterns, especially during rush hours. Vehicle quality and driver familiarity with the Karakoy area can be inconsistent.
