Worth knowing

Roughly hourly from the airport, 05:00 to 23:45, on Havaist's own timetable. No night departures on this line.

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.

Where it takes you
