Transportation Options

Public Transport

Public transportation from Galataport involves a combination of walking and the historic Tünel funicular system. You'll need to walk about 10 minutes to reach Karaköy station, then take the funicular or tram to Beyoglu. While economical, this option can be challenging with luggage and involves uphill sections.

Airport Shuttle

Shared shuttle services from Galataport operate on fixed schedules and don't provide direct hotel drops. The nearest drop-off point requires additional walking with luggage through busy streets, making this option less convenient for cruise passengers with baggage.
