Transportation Options

Public Transport

While public transport options exist, they require multiple transitions and walking with luggage. From Galataport, you'll need to walk to Tophane tram station, take the T1 tram to Sultanahmet, then walk approximately 800 meters through the historic streets to reach the hotel. This journey can be challenging with luggage and typically takes 35-40 minutes, depending on tram frequency and walking pace.

Airport Shuttle

Shared shuttle services from Galataport are limited and don't offer direct routes to Sultanahmet hotels. Most require gathering points and multiple stops, making the journey longer and less convenient for cruise passengers with luggage. Additionally, scheduled departure times may not align with your cruise arrival or departure times.

Taxi

Regular taxis are available at Galataport, but during cruise ship arrivals, finding an available taxi can be challenging. The journey typically takes 15-25 minutes, depending on traffic conditions through Karaköy and across the Golden Horn. Taxi meters may run higher during heavy traffic, and some drivers may be unfamiliar with the hotel's exact location in the narrow streets of Sultanahmet.
