Istanbul airport transfer questions
We are flying from Izmir to Istanbul arriving at Sabiha Gokcen at 8PM. What is the easiest and most economical way to get to our hotel in the Blue Mosque area of Istanbul? Thanks very much. There are two of us travelling.

Easiest and most economical are not the same. Easiest at a decent price is the airport bus to Taksim Square and from there taking the funicular to the streetcar that goes over to the Blue Mosque area. Most economical is to take a city bus to the subway, then the subway to Taksim Square, then the funicular etc. But don't dawdle, whichever option you choose because after the anticipated arrivals the buses leave and suddenly all transportation is gone. Take a look at my trip report; click on my name to find it.

One more thing: arriving at the domestic side of the terminal, one is less likely to see vans taking passengers to their hotels and looking for extra passengers to add to the group, which is how we first got to our hotel.
