Distances to Districts/Hotels from Istanbul New Airport

What we all love about Istanbul Ataturk Airport in the distance. Some of our guests seeking a better deal or timing booked also Sabiha Gokcen Airport without knowing it is an extra 35-40 minutes driving distance, but especially after Eurasia (Avrasya) Tunnel was opened, it can be traveled a lot quicker now. While the Metro railway constructions and other means of travel are being planned for the new airport, here is a quick list for approx.. distances of the most preferred districts:

 

District / Hotel Distance Duration +/- (usual traffic)
Sultanahmet 54 km 75 minutes
Sirkeci 54 km 75 minutes
Besiktas 48 km 45 minutes
Taksim 48 km 50 minutes
