Public transportation from Sabiha Gokcen Airport requires multiple transfers. The journey starts with the HAVABUS to Kadıköy, followed by a ferry to Eminönü, and finally a tram to Sultanahmet. This complex route typically takes 120-150 minutes, challenging with luggage and subject to traffic and ferry schedules. Journey times can extend significantly during peak hours or adverse weather conditions.
Shared shuttle services operate on fixed schedules with multiple hotel stops throughout Istanbul. While budget-friendly, the journey can take 140-180 minutes due to numerous pickup points and traffic conditions. Limited luggage space and rigid departure times make this option less convenient for many travelers.
Standard taxis are available at the airport, but the 48.3 km journey can be costly and time-consuming. Journey duration varies significantly based on traffic conditions, typically ranging from 70-120 minutes.
