Merhaba!<\/p>\n

For as many years as I’ve been flying to Istanbul, I’ve stuck with one tried-and-tested way of getting to my hotel. No, I’m not a creature of habit \u2014 I’ve actually tested every possible option. But there’s only one I consider the best.<\/p>\n

This year it so happened that I landed at Istanbul’s airports several times within a single month. I decided to use that as an excuse to run a full test drive and double-check every route. I’ll give you the honest rundown on all of them: prices, timing, and my personal nerve damage. Spoiler: my opinion hasn’t changed.<\/p>\n

But first, a quick geography refresher.<\/p> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

Istanbul’s Airports<\/h2>\n

Check your ticket to know exactly which airport you’re flying into: IST or SAW. And which one you’re flying out of on the way back, too.<\/p>\n
