Transportation Options from Sabiha Gokcen Airport

Public Transportation

Public transport from Sabiha Gokcen Airport requires multiple transfers. The journey starts with HAVABUS to Kadikoy, followed by a ferry to Besiktas, and a short walk to the hotel. Total journey time typically exceeds 120 minutes, depending on traffic and ferry schedules. Managing luggage through various transport changes can be challenging, especially during peak hours or adverse weather conditions.

Airport Shuttle Services

Shared shuttle services operate on fixed schedules with multiple hotel stops, extending journey time significantly. Limited luggage capacity and predetermined routes mean less flexibility and comfort. Advanced booking is required, and services may not accommodate early morning or late-night flights. The shuttle stop location might require additional walking with luggage.

Taxi Service

While taxis are available at the airport, the 41.4 km journey can be costly with variable pricing based on traffic conditions. During peak hours, finding an available taxi might be challenging.
