Transportation Options

Public Transport

Public transportation from Sabiha Gokcen Airport requires multiple transfers. The journey starts with the HAVABUS to Kadıköy, followed by a ferry to Karaköy, totaling around 2.5 hours. Managing luggage across various transport modes can be challenging, especially during peak hours. While economical, this option demands considerable time and effort.

Airport Shuttle

Shared shuttle services operate on fixed schedules with multiple stops, potentially extending the 44.7 km journey beyond 3 hours. Limited luggage space and rigid departure times make this option less suitable for travelers seeking convenience. Advanced booking is required, and services may not accommodate flight delays.

Taxi

Standard taxis are available at the airport, but journey times can vary significantly due to Istanbul's unpredictable traffic patterns. Fares fluctuate based on traffic conditions and time of day. During peak hours, finding a taxi willing to make the cross-city journey may be challenging, and vehicle quality can be inconsistent.
