When you land at Istanbul New Airport (IST) or Sabiha Gökçen (SAW), the first question on your mind is: "How do I get to the city center or my hotel most comfortably and quickly?" In this guide, we compare all transportation options in Istanbul with their pros and cons, explaining why thousands of tourists prefer Istanbul Cozy Shuttle.
Option 1: Public Transport (Havaist and Metro)
Istanbul's transportation network is developing, but the airports are quite far from the city center (Sultanahmet, Taksim, Beşiktaş). While metro and buses may seem like an economical option, they can turn into a nightmare, especially if you have luggage.
- Disadvantages: Walking from the stop to the hotel with suitcases is difficult. Stairs and crowds can tire you out while transferring between metro lines.
- Suitable For: Backpackers and those not in a rush.
Option 2: Yellow Taxis
You can always find a taxi at the airport gate. However, Istanbul taxis can sometimes be risky for tourists. Issues such as taking the long route, increasing meter fares during peak traffic hours, or language barriers may occur.
Option 3: Istanbul Cozy Shuttle (VIP Transfer)
At this point, our option comes into play, combining the speed of a taxi not with the price advantage of a bus, but with private jet comfort. Traveling with us is not just transportation; it is a stress-free start to your holiday.
Why is VIP Transfer More Advantageous?
