let's have a look at the advantages and disadvantages of each:

IETT buses

There are 5 different lines going to different areas of the city but not suggested, except if you have plenty of time, as the airport is far from the city, it will take a lot of time, but if you have plenty of time, this one would be the cheapest.

H-1 Mahmutbey Metro - Istanbul airport

H-2 Mecidiyeköy - Istanbul airport

H-3 Halkalı Marmaray - Istanbul airport

H-6 Yunus Emre Mah. - Istanbul airport

H-8 Hacıosman/Sarıyer - Istanbul airport

probably the best one for you would be the H-2 as it goes closer to city center and from there, you can use the metro to your destination. There is almost a bus departing from Istanbul airport for this line every hour between 7 AM to 9 PM.

Havaist buses

If you want to use public transportation, havaist buses are much better for several reasons such as reasonable price and being on-time and fast. The only problem is that there aren't many stops and you need to use a taxi again, if the stops are not close to your destination. Additionally, now with covid 19, some people do not prefer it. There are 11 different routes for Havaist to different districts inside city, but the most important ones are the ones which go to Taksim, Sultanahmet, Kadikoy and Yenikapi, as these are closer to city center. 

Istanbul Airport transfer

If you want to use a private car, this kind of transportation is suggested for you. The price is usually between 25-40 euros to go to the city center.

If you are a group or family of 3-5 people, this kind of transportation is the best selection for you.
