TL;DR
Havaist buses do not stop directly on Sultanahmet Square; the stop is downhill toward the waterfront. For Sirkeci, Eminönü is usually more convenient, and the return airport bus stop is by the coastal road rather than on the square.
If you arrived at the Havaist 13 terminus and are staying in Sultanahmet, do not look for the return stop on the square. Walk downhill toward the sea: the airport-bound bus stop is on the waterfront near the terminus area.
The stop often referred to as “Sultanahmet” is not actually on Sultanahmet Square. From the historic center, walk downhill toward the sea with the square behind you; allow extra time if you have luggage.
For Sirkeci, it is more practical to get off at Eminönü rather than rely on the former Havaist 11 stop near Sultanahmet. Current route information indicates that Havaist 11 no longer serves Sultanahmet Square.
