You can go from Istanbul's Sabiha Gökçen Airport, on the Asian side of the Bosphorus, to Atatürk Airport, on the European side of the city, by Metro, tram, ferryboat and bus in about three hours for as little as YTL10, and see a good amount of Istanbul and the Bosphorus as you travel.

It's easier simply to take the Havas airport bus from Sabiha Gökçen Airport to Taksim Square, then another Havas bus from Taksim to Atatürk Airport.

To go by public transport, take the E10 city bus (about YTL3) from Sabiha Gökçen Airport to the Kadiköy ferry dock. E10 buses depart the airport every 20 to 40 minutes and take about an hour to reach Kadiköy.

At the Kadiköy ferry dock, take a ferry to Karaköy (YTL1.50, about 1 hour including waiting time) or to Eminönü, whichever departs first.

If you land at Karaköy, exit the ferry dock, turn left and walk to the Galata Bridge. The tram station is on the northern end of the bridge. Use the underground pedestrian passage (Yeralti Geçidi) to reach the station. It can be a bit confusing: in the shop-filled passage, watch for Tramvay signs, or ask a shopkeeper to point the way to the tramvay (TRAHM-vah-yee). Look for a Bilet kiosk to buy a token (jeton) before entering the tram station. Take the tram south, across the bridge, toward Zeytinburnu.

If you land at Eminönü, leave the ferry dock and find the underground passage (Yeralti Geçidi), leading to the Tramvay and board the Zeytinburnu tram. Tokens (YTL1.20) are sold at booths just before you pass through the turnstiles to the tram platform.

Take the Zeytinburnu tram up the hill through Sultanahmet, along Divan Yolu and all the way to the last stop ("Zeytinburnu"), about 30 to 40 minutes.

Leave the tram, enter the Metro station and cross to the outbound (westbound) platform signed for Havaalani (Airport), on the opposite side of the Metro tracks from the tram station.

Take any westbound Metro train, and get out at the last stop (Havaalani).

As you leave the Atatürk Airport Metro station, signs guide you through the underground walkways to your terminal, domestic or international.

You must pass through security before being allowed to enter either terminal. Allow at least 15 minutes to walk from the Metro station through the underground walkways, and to pass through security, to get to the Departures area of either terminal.
