Transportation Options

Public Transport

While public transportation connects Sabiha Gokcen Airport to the Grand Bazaar area, the journey requires multiple transfers. Travelers must first take the HAVABUS to Kadikoy, then cross to the European side via ferry, followed by using the tram system. This complex journey typically takes 2-2.5 hours, proving challenging with luggage and depending on traffic conditions. The route can be particularly demanding during peak hours or adverse weather conditions.

Airport Shuttle

Shared shuttle services operate between Sabiha Gokcen Airport and the city center, but they don't offer direct access to Tilia Hotel. Passengers often face extended journey times due to multiple hotel stops, and the nearest shuttle drop-off point requires additional walking through the busy bazaar streets. Advanced booking is necessary, and schedules are inflexible, not accommodating flight delays.

Taxi Service

Traditional yellow taxis are available at Sabiha Gokcen Airport, but the journey to Grand Bazaar can be unpredictable. The 51.7 km route often experiences heavy traffic, leading to variable journey times and fares. During peak hours, finding an available taxi can be challenging, and drivers might be hesitant to make the long cross-city journey.
