Istanbul's Yenikapı Fast Ferry Terminal is an important transport hub. If you're coming from the Sea of Marmara Asian shore suburbs of Kadıköy or Bostancı, the Princes' Islands (via ferry from Bostancı), or the southern Sea of Marmara shore cities of Yalova, Bursa or Bandırma (for the train to Izmir), your fast car ferry or SeaBus fast catamaran passenger ferry will arrive at Yenikapı.

By Havataş Airport Bus

Havataş airport buses await the arrival of every ferry coming to Yenikapı, then whiz you out to Atatürk Airport for TL5.

Check with Havataş about trips in the opposite direction, from Atatürk Airport to Yenikapı.

(Be sure to look for Havataş and not Havaş. Havaş airport buses stop at the Bakırköy ferry docks, but not the Yenikapı ferry terminal.)

By City Bus

IETT express city bus 96T, departs Atatürk Airport and travels along the shore of the Sea of Marmara stopping at the Yenikapı Ferry Terminal, Aksaray Square and Taksim Square. This is among the most inexpensive ways to go, but also the slowest.

By Private Transfer

A private transfer service can easily move you and your luggage between Atatürk Airport and Yenikapı, and if you have three or more people, or more than two or three suitcases, this is a value-for-money service you'll want to use. More...

By Taxi

A taxi can whiz you from the airport to Yenikapı, but if you're two travelers with a goodly amount of luggage, or three travelers with a normal amount of luggage, you may need two taxis, which means twice the price, and perhaps twice the headaches, which is when a private transfer service begins to look great.

By Suburban Train

Suburban trains (banliyö treni) travel from near Atatürk Airport to near Yenikapı. You can take a taxi from the airport to the Yeşilyurt train station, then a suburban train toward Sirkeci, getting out at the Yenikapı station, but there are stairs and busy road crossings to negotiate, so it probably doesn't make sense. Other ways are easier, quicker and cheaper.
