Transportation Options

Public Transport

Public transportation from Sabiha Gokcen Airport requires multiple transitions. The journey starts with the HAVABUS to Kadikoy, followed by a ferry crossing and additional public transport to Taksim. This option takes approximately 2.5 hours, involving considerable walking with luggage and can be challenging during peak hours or adverse weather.

Airport Shuttle

Shared shuttle services operate on fixed schedules with multiple hotel stops, extending journey times significantly. Limited luggage space and preset departure times may not accommodate early arrivals or late flights. The service requires advance booking and doesn't offer direct hotel drop-off.
