Transportation Options

Public Transport

Public transportation from Sabiha Gokcen Airport involves multiple connections. Start with the HAVABUS to Taksim, followed by a taxi or bus to Besiktas. This journey typically takes 100-120 minutes, depending on traffic and connection times. Managing luggage through various transfers can be challenging, particularly during peak hours or adverse weather conditions.

Airport Shuttle

Shared shuttle services operate on fixed schedules with multiple hotel stops. While budget-friendly, the journey can extend beyond 2 hours due to numerous pickup points. Limited luggage space and rigid departure times make this option less suitable for travelers seeking convenience or those with early/late flights.

Taxi

Standard taxis are available at the airport, but prices can vary significantly based on traffic conditions and time of day. The cross-continental journey often encounters heavy traffic, especially during rush hours. Vehicle quality and driver communication can be inconsistent, potentially affecting comfort during the long journey.
