The journey from Sabiha Gokcen International Airport spans approximately 52.8 kilometers, crossing from the Asian side to the European side of Istanbul via the Bosphorus Bridge. The route passes through diverse districts, offering glimpses of both modern and historic Istanbul.
Public transportation from Sabiha Gokcen Airport requires multiple transfers. The journey starts with the HAVABUS to Kadıköy, followed by a ferry crossing to Eminönü, and finally a tram or taxi to Laleli. This complex journey typically takes 2-2.5 hours, depending on traffic and connection times, and can be challenging with luggage.
Shared shuttle services operate from Sabiha Gokcen Airport but require advance booking and follow fixed schedules. Multiple hotel stops along the route can extend journey times significantly, and the nearest drop-off point may still require walking with luggage through Laleli's busy streets.
While taxis are available at the airport, the cross-city journey can be expensive with variable pricing based on traffic conditions. During peak hours, finding a taxi willing to make the long cross-city journey can be challenging, and communication might be difficult for international travelers.
