Transportation Options

Public Transport

The journey from Sabiha Gokcen Airport requires multiple transfers. Take the HAVABUS to Kadıköy, then ferry to Eminönü, followed by a tram to Sultanahmet. This journey typically takes 2-2.5 hours, depending on traffic and connection times. Managing luggage through various transitions can be challenging, especially during peak hours or adverse weather conditions.

Airport Shuttle
