Public Transport

Public transportation from Sabiha Gokcen Airport involves multiple connections. Start with the HAVABUS to Kadıköy, then take a ferry to Eminönü, followed by a walk or tram to Sirkeci. This journey typically takes 120-150 minutes, depending on traffic and ferry schedules. Managing luggage through various transport changes can be challenging, especially during peak hours.
