While public transport is available, it requires multiple transitions. You'll need to take the tram from Tophane station near Galataport to Sultanahmet, followed by a walk through the historic streets with luggage. This can be challenging, especially during peak tourist seasons or adverse weather conditions.
Shared shuttle services from Galataport have limited schedules and don't offer direct routes to hotels. They typically require gathering points and multiple stops, making the journey longer and less convenient for cruise passengers with luggage.
Regular taxis are available at Galataport, but during cruise ship arrivals, finding one can be challenging. Prices may vary based on traffic conditions, and drivers might take longer routes through the busy streets of Karaköy and Eminönü.
