Transportation Options

Public Transport

Public transportation from Sabiha Gokcen Airport involves multiple transfers. Start with the HAVABUS to Kadıköy, followed by a ferry to Karaköy, and finally a short taxi ride or uphill walk to the hotel. This journey typically takes 120-150 minutes depending on traffic and ferry schedules, proving challenging with luggage.

Airport Shuttle

Shared shuttle services operate from Sabiha Gokcen Airport but require advance booking and follow fixed schedules. The service includes multiple hotel stops, potentially extending your journey time to over 150 minutes. Limited luggage space and varying departure times can make this option less convenient for Pera Palace Hotel guests.

Taxi

Standard taxis are available at the airport, but the long cross-city journey often leads to variable pricing. Traffic conditions, especially during peak hours, can significantly impact both travel time and cost. The route through the Asian side and across the Bosphorus Bridge can be particularly unpredictable during rush hours.
