İETT bus H-2 to Mecidiyeköy (night only)orHavaist coach to Sultanahmet?

From

Transportation floor -2 — the İETT stop the timetable calls İstanbul Havalimanı Garaj

To

Mecidiyeköy Metrobüs, beside Şişli-Mecidiyeköy on the M2, two stops from Taksim

Luggage

An İETT express bus; İETT publishes no luggage rule for it.

Runs

01:10–05:45

Journey

105 min

This line only exists at night. 01:10, 03:30 and 05:45 from the airport, every day. Miss the 03:30 and the next bus is over two hours away; after 05:45 take the metro, which starts at 06:03.

It is the cheapest thing that moves between 00:17 and 06:03 — TRY 92.40 against TRY 470 on the Havaist coach — and it takes 105 minutes to Mecidiyeköy.

The night fare is an open question. İbb's tariff doubles bus fares between 00:30 and 05:30 unless a decision says otherwise, and no document read here says whether one exists for the H-2. Budget for the rule as written on the 01:10 and 03:30 departures.

Pay with an İstanbulkart: a bank card is charged at the single-use price, TRY 120.

Mecidiyeköy is a Metrobüs and M2 interchange, not a square with hotels on it; the M2 will not be running when the 01:10 or 03:30 arrives except on Friday and Saturday nights.

From

Transportation floor -2, Peron 11

To

Çatladıkapı, on the Marmara shore below Sultanahmet, via Miniatürk, Hasköy, Şişhane and Eminönü

Luggage

Two bags of no more than medium size free per passenger; TRY 120 for each bag beyond that.

Runs

05:00–23:45

Journey

110 min

İBB's tariff says TRY 420; Havaist charges TRY 470. If you are charged 470, that is the operator's price, not the tariff's — both figures are shown here so you know which to expect.

The slowest Havaist line into town: 110 minutes on the operator's own timetable, against 90 to Taksim.

Nothing between 23:45 and 05:00. At night the Havaist Aksaray coach, four T1 tram stops away, runs through — but the tram stops at midnight too.

It stops at Eminönü and Şişhane on the way, which may be nearer your hotel than Çatladıkapı.
