Transportation Options

Public Transport

Public transportation from Sabiha Gokcen Airport requires multiple transfers. Take the HAVABUS to Kadıköy, then ferry to Eminönü, followed by a 15-minute walk or tram ride to Sultanahmet. This journey typically takes 2-2.5 hours, depending on traffic and ferry schedules, and can be challenging with luggage.

Airport Shuttle

Shared shuttle services operate between Sabiha Gokcen Airport and Sultanahmet area. However, they run on fixed schedules with multiple hotel stops, extending journey time to over 2 hours. Limited luggage space and early booking requirements make this option less convenient for hotel guests.

Taxi Service

Yellow taxis are available at Sabiha Gokcen Airport, but prices can vary significantly based on traffic conditions and time of day. The cross-continental journey often faces heavy traffic on the Bosphorus Bridge, and finding a taxi willing to make the long journey may be challenging during peak hours.
