Transportation Options

Public Transport

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 Kucukyali. This complex journey can take 90-120 minutes depending on connection times and typically involves managing luggage across various transport modes.

Airport Shuttle

There are no direct shuttle services operating between Galataport and Kucukyali. Available shuttle services primarily focus on airport routes and would require multiple transfers, making this option impractical for cruise passengers with luggage.

Taxi

While taxis are available at Galataport, many drivers may be hesitant to cross to the Asian side due to return journey concerns. The fare can vary significantly based on traffic conditions, and communication can be challenging for international visitors.
