Transportation Options

Public Transport

Public transportation from Sabiha Gokcen Airport requires multiple connections. The journey starts with the HAVABUS to Kadıköy, followed by a ferry crossing to Karaköy, and a short walk to the hotel. This option takes approximately 2.5 hours, depending on traffic and ferry schedules. Managing luggage across different modes of transport can be challenging, especially during peak hours.

Airport Shuttle

Shared shuttle services operate from Sabiha Gokcen Airport but do not offer direct routes to The Peninsula Istanbul. These services typically make multiple stops, extending journey times beyond 3 hours. Additionally, their fixed schedule may not align with flight arrivals, and the closest drop-off point might require walking with luggage.

Taxi

While taxis are available at Sabiha Gokcen Airport, the cross-continental journey can be unpredictable. Fares vary significantly based on traffic conditions, which are particularly challenging during rush hours. The route crosses the Bosphorus Bridge, where congestion is common. Language barriers and unfamiliarity with the hotel's exact location may cause additional complications.
