The Camelot Hotel enjoys a prime location in Istanbul's historic Sultanahmet district, the heart of the city's Old Town. This highly regarded boutique hotel sits in the Cankurtaran neighborhood, mere steps from the magnificent Hagia Sophia and Blue Mosque. The surrounding area is rich with Byzantine and Ottoman architecture, featuring cobblestone streets lined with traditional restaurants, Turkish carpet shops, and charming cafes. Within walking distance, guests can explore the Topkapi Palace, Basilica Cistern, and the vibrant Grand Bazaar.
While public transportation from Sabiha Gokcen Airport to Sultanahmet is available, it requires multiple transfers. The journey starts with the HAVABUS to Taksim, followed by a metro connection and tram ride, typically taking 100-120 minutes. Managing luggage through these transfers can be challenging, especially during peak hours. The route involves considerable walking between stations, which can be tiring after a long flight.
Shared shuttle services operate on fixed schedules between Sabiha Gokcen Airport and Sultanahmet. While more affordable than private options, these services make multiple stops at different hotels, extending the journey time significantly. Limited luggage space and rigid departure times can make this option less convenient, especially for early morning or late-night flights.
Standard taxis are available at Sabiha Gokcen Airport, but the 48.5 km journey can be costly with variable pricing based on traffic conditions. During peak hours, the trip can take up to 100 minutes. Finding a taxi that accepts credit cards can be challenging, and surge pricing is common during busy periods. Vehicle quality and comfort levels vary considerably.
