The Havaist bus to Sultanahmet stops at Hasköy Parkı, from where it's about a 10-minute taxi ride to the center. The metro route would require several transfers, which can be inconvenient with luggage.
Havaist → Hasköy Parkı → taxi
The bus to Sultanahmet also has a stop at Eminönü — quite convenient and notably cheaper than a taxi or private transfer.

Another ferry option: from Karaköy to Üsküdar, then walk or take a bus onward. Operated by Turyol.

The ferry from Kabataş to Mudanya is the most enjoyable option. From Mudanya, minibuses run to central Bursa. Comfortable and traffic-free.

Buses are an option but slow and inconvenient — you first need to reach the main bus terminal (otogar), which adds significant travel time.
Take the Havaist bus toward Bakırköy and get off at Ataköy (second-to-last stop), then switch to the Marmaray train to Florya Akvaryum station and walk from there.
Havaist → Ataköy → Marmaray → Florya Akvaryum
The simplest Havaist bus route: ride to Aksaray and transfer to the tram, or go directly to Sultanahmet. Check schedules and fares at havaist.com.
