Transportation Options

Public Transport

Reaching Ortakoy Hotel from Sabiha Gokcen Airport by public transport requires multiple connections. The journey starts with the HAVABUS to Kadikoy, followed by a ferry to Besiktas, and finally a local bus or taxi to Ortakoy. This complex route typically takes 2-2.5 hours, depending on traffic and connection times. Managing luggage through various transport changes can be challenging, especially during peak hours.

Airport Shuttle

Shared airport shuttles follow fixed schedules with multiple stops along the route. While more economical than private options, the service doesn't provide direct access to Ortakoy Hotel. Passengers often need to arrange additional transportation from the nearest shuttle stop, adding time and complexity to the journey. The total travel time can exceed 3 hours due to multiple hotel stops.

Taxi Service

Standard taxis are available at the airport, but the cross-continental journey to Ortakoy can be costly. During peak traffic hours, the fare can vary significantly, and communication might be challenging. The route through the Asian side and across the Bosphorus Bridge often encounters heavy traffic, particularly during rush hours, potentially extending the journey time considerably.
