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.
