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 finally a walk or short tram ride to Galata. This complex journey typically takes 2-2.5 hours, depending on connection times and traffic conditions. Managing luggage through these transitions can be particularly challenging, especially during peak hours.

Airport Shuttle

Shared shuttle services operate from Sabiha Gokcen Airport but follow fixed schedules with multiple stops. The service requires advance booking and offers limited flexibility with departure times. Journey times are unpredictable due to multiple hotel stops, and the nearest shuttle drop-off point may still require walking with luggage through Galata's historic streets.

Taxi

While taxis are available at Sabiha Gokcen Airport, the cross-city journey can be costly with variable pricing based on traffic conditions. During peak hours, finding a taxi willing to make the long cross-continental journey can be challenging. The quality of vehicles and service can vary significantly, and communication might be difficult for international travelers.
