Transportation Options

Public Transport

Public transportation requires multiple transitions, starting with the HAVABUS to Kadıköy, followed by a ferry or metro to Marmaray, and finally a tram to Sirkeci station. This journey typically takes 100-120 minutes, involving considerable walking with luggage and potential weather exposure. Service frequency varies throughout the day, and early morning or late night connections are limited.

Airport Shuttle

Shared shuttle services operate on fixed schedules with multiple hotel stops, extending journey time significantly. Advance booking is essential, and services may not accommodate early morning or late night flights. Limited luggage space and multiple passenger pickups can add considerable time to the already lengthy route.

Taxi

Regular taxis are available at the airport, but journey times can vary significantly based on traffic conditions. The cross-continental route often experiences heavy congestion, especially during rush hours. Fare meters run continuously in traffic, potentially leading to higher costs than expected. Vehicle quality and driver familiarity with the Old City area can vary considerably.
