The journey from Sabiha Gokcen Airport involves multiple transfers, starting with the HAVABUS to Kadıköy, followed by a ferry to Eminönü, and finally a tram to Sultanahmet. This complex route typically takes 2-2.5 hours, depending on traffic and ferry schedules. Managing luggage through various transport changes can be challenging, especially during peak hours.
Shared shuttle services operate on fixed schedules from Sabiha Gokcen Airport. While more economical than private options, they involve multiple hotel stops, extending the journey time to potentially 3 hours. Limited luggage space and preset departure times may not suit all travelers' needs.
Standard taxis are available at the airport, but the 46.5 km journey can be costly and time-consuming. Journey times vary significantly based on traffic conditions, typically ranging from 1 to 2 hours. Taxi quality and driver familiarity with the historic peninsula can be inconsistent.
