Transportation Options

Public Transport

While public transport is available from Galataport, it requires multiple transitions and isn't ideal with cruise luggage. The route involves taking the tram from Tophane station, transferring at Karaköy, and continuing to Sultanahmet, followed by a walk through narrow streets to reach the hotel. This option can be challenging with baggage and time-consuming during peak hours.

Airport Shuttle

General shuttle services from Galataport operate on fixed schedules and don't provide direct hotel drop-offs. These shared services typically make multiple stops, significantly extending journey time. Additionally, the final portion to reach the hotel often requires walking through Sultanahmet's historic streets with luggage.

Taxi

While taxis are available at Galataport, finding one willing to make the short journey during cruise ship arrivals can be challenging. Variable pricing and potential route confusion through the Old City's complex street layout can create uncertainty. During peak tourist seasons, taxi availability becomes particularly limited.
