Genoa Cristoforo Colombo Airport (GOA) is a compact regional gateway serving northern Italy and the Ligurian coast, typically handling a mix of low-cost carriers and seasonal international services alongside a few legacy airlines. Located about 7–10 km west of the city center, transfer options include bus lines (roughly 25–40 minutes, low fares), taxi rides (around 15–25 minutes, mid-range fares) and rental cars; travel times can vary with traffic through the coastal tunnels. The airport’s small size usually makes arrivals and connections straightforward, though facilities can be more limited than at major international hubs and peak-season flights can feel crowded. Good for convenient access to Genoa and nearby Riviera towns.

Istanbul is served by two main airports with distinct roles. Istanbul Airport (IST) is the city’s large international hub handling most long-haul and full-service carriers; it usually feels modern and busy, with premium lounges and frequent connections. Located about 35–50 km from the historic peninsula, travel to the center typically takes 40–60 minutes by taxi (fare ranges can vary widely) or 40–60 minutes via Havaist or municipal buses and airport shuttles for moderate fares; a new metro line also provides a quicker rail option. Pros: extensive routes and facilities; cons: longer transfer times and occasional peak-hour congestion. Sabiha Gökçen (SAW) acts more as a secondary airport, commonly used by low-cost and some regional airlines, so fares can often appear more budget-friendly for short-haul flights. It sits on the Anatolian side roughly 30–45 km from central tourist areas; road travel by taxi or private transfer usually takes 45–75 minutes depending on traffic and can be cheaper off-peak. Express buses and Havabus services link SAW to Kadıköy and Taksim in around 60–90 minutes for modest fares, and a planned rail connection may improve options. Pros: lower-cost carrier presence and less complex terminals; cons: longer road journeys to European-side attractions and fewer long-haul connections.

The minimum one-way ticket price from Istanbul to Genoa is $73 (November 2025), while the maximum is $155 (May 2026). On average, a ticket costs $117–$253.
