Transportation Options

Public Transport

Reaching Shining Star Hotel from Sabiha Gokcen Airport via public transportation requires multiple transfers. The journey starts with the HAVABÜS shuttle to Kadıköy, followed by a ferry crossing to Eminönü, and finally a tram or short walk to Sultanahmet. This complex route typically takes 100-120 minutes and can be challenging with luggage, especially during peak hours.

Airport Shuttle

Shared airport shuttles offer scheduled services to Sultanahmet area hotels. However, these involve multiple hotel stops, extending journey time significantly. Limited luggage space and fixed departure schedules may not align with all flight arrivals, particularly for early morning or late night flights.

Taxi

Standard taxis are available at the airport, but the 46.5 km journey can be costly with variable pricing based on traffic conditions. Journey times range from 60-90 minutes depending on traffic, and finding a taxi willing to make the long journey may be challenging during peak times.
