Transportation Options

Public Transport

Public transportation from Sabiha Gokcen Airport involves multiple transfers. The journey starts with the HAVABUS to Kadikoy, followed by a ferry to Karakoy, totaling about 2 hours depending on traffic and ferry schedules. Managing luggage through various transitions can be challenging, especially during peak hours or adverse weather conditions.

Airport Shuttle

Shared shuttle services operate on fixed schedules with multiple hotel stops, potentially extending the 49.7 km journey to over 2.5 hours. Limited luggage space and rigid departure times make this option less convenient for travelers seeking comfort and flexibility.

Taxi

Standard taxis are available but journey costs can vary significantly based on traffic conditions and time of day. During peak hours, the trip may take up to 1.5 hours, and finding a taxi willing to make the long journey can be challenging during busy periods.
