Burgu Arjaan by Rotana stands as a prominent hospitality landmark in the developing Maltepe district of Istanbul's Asian side. The journey from Galataport Istanbul to this contemporary hotel involves a scenic cross-continental route that showcases Istanbul's diverse landscapes. The route traverses from the historic port area through the European side's coastal road, crossing the Bosphorus Bridge to reach the Asian side.
The journey spans 23.1 kilometers, typically taking 35-50 minutes depending on traffic conditions. The route follows the coastal road through Karaköy, passes the iconic Istanbul Modern, and continues along the Bosphorus before crossing to Asia. On the Asian side, the route continues through the coastal districts before reaching Maltepe.
Public transportation requires multiple transfers, starting with the tram from Galataport to Kabataş, followed by a ferry to Kadıköy, and finally a bus or minibus to Maltepe. This journey can take up to 90 minutes and presents challenges with luggage handling, especially for cruise passengers.
Regular shuttle services are not available for this specific route. The available shuttles primarily serve airport routes and do not provide direct connections between Galataport and Maltepe area hotels.
While taxis are readily available at Galataport, the cross-continental journey can be costly due to variable pricing. During peak hours, finding a taxi willing to cross to the Asian side can be challenging, and prices may fluctuate significantly based on traffic conditions.
