Transportation Options

Public Transport

While public transport is available, it involves a combination of walking and climbing steep hills. The historic tram provides partial coverage, but guests with luggage will find the uphill journey and numerous steps challenging, particularly in warm weather or during peak hours.

Airport Shuttle

Standard shuttle services do not operate specific routes from Galataport to individual hotels. The irregular scheduling and shared nature of available shuttles make them impractical for cruise passengers with specific timing needs.

Taxi

Local taxis are available at Galataport, but finding one willing to make the short journey can be challenging during peak cruise ship arrivals. The narrow, often congested streets around the hotel can also present navigation challenges for drivers unfamiliar with the area.
