The journey from Sabiha Gokcen Airport crosses the Asian side through the Bosphorus Bridge, offering spectacular city views. This cross-continental transfer typically takes 50-75 minutes, depending on traffic conditions, passing through key areas like Kadıköy, crossing the Bosphorus Bridge, and continuing through Beşiktaş before reaching Taksim.
Public transportation from Sabiha Gokcen Airport requires multiple transitions. Start with the HAVABUS to Kadıköy, then take a ferry to Beşiktaş, followed by a taxi or bus to Taksim.
