Transportation Options

Public Transport

Public transportation from Sabiha Gokcen Airport requires multiple connections. The journey starts with the HAVABUS to Kadıköy, followed by a ferry crossing to Eminönü, and finally a tram or taxi to reach the hotel. This option takes approximately 2.5 hours, depending on connection times and traffic conditions. Managing luggage through these transitions can be challenging, especially during peak hours.

Airport Shuttle

Shared shuttle services operate from Sabiha Gokcen Airport but follow fixed schedules with multiple stops. The journey time is unpredictable due to other passenger pickups and dropoffs, typically taking between 2-3 hours. These services require advance booking and don't offer the convenience of direct transportation to the Opatija Hotel.

Taxi

Regular taxis are available at the airport, but the cross-city journey can be costly with variable pricing based on traffic conditions. During peak hours, the journey can take up to 2 hours. Finding a taxi driver familiar with the specific location in Fatih's historic streets can sometimes be challenging.
