Transportation Options

Public Transport

Public transportation from Sabiha Gokcen Airport involves multiple transfers. The journey starts with the HAVABUS to Kadıköy, followed by a ferry crossing to Kabataş, and finally a funicular or taxi to Taksim. This complex route typically takes 2-2.5 hours, challenging with luggage and dependent on traffic and ferry schedules.

Airport Shuttle

Shared shuttle services operate with fixed schedules between Sabiha Gokcen and Taksim area hotels. While budget-friendly, these services involve multiple hotel stops, extending journey times considerably. Limited luggage space and rigid departure times can make this option less convenient for travelers seeking comfort.

Taxi

Regular taxis are available at the airport, but prices can vary significantly based on traffic conditions and time of day. During peak hours, the journey can take well over 90 minutes. Language barriers and unfamiliarity with the specific hotel location can sometimes lead to confusion.
