HavaBus Istanbul 2025: Routes, Prices (€) & Timetables from Sabiha Gökçen (SAW)
Last Updated: September 17, 2025 • Exchange rate used: €1 = ₺48.96.
Flying into Sabiha Gökçen Airport (SAW)? HavaBus (official shuttle) links SAW with Taksim, Kadıköy and Yenisahra. It’s cheap and reliable—but note you’ll often need an additional taxi or tram to reach your exact hotel (e.g., Sultanahmet), which adds time and cost. For door-to-door simplicity, consider a private transfer.
💡 Key Takeaways
- HavaBus serves SAW only (not Istanbul Airport – IST). For IST routes, see our Havaist Istanbul Airport Shuttle 2025 Guide .
- Budget-friendly tickets: Taksim ₺367 (~€7.50); Kadıköy/Yenisahra ₺227 (~€4.64).
- Not door-to-door: You may need a taxi or tram to reach areas like Sultanahmet (extra €10–€15).
- Every ~30 minutes most of the day; travel time varies with traffic.
