The Elite World Grand Istanbul Kucukyali welcomes guests in the developing Maltepe district on Istanbul's Asian side. This upscale hotel maintains high guest satisfaction with its modern amenities and strategic location on Inonu Avenue. The journey from Galataport cruise terminal spans 22.8 kilometers, crossing from European Istanbul to the Asian shore via the Bosphorus Bridge.
The route follows the coastal road from Galataport through Karaköy and Kabataş, continuing along the scenic Bosphorus shoreline to the bridge. After crossing to the Asian side, the journey continues along the E5 highway through Kadıköy and Maltepe, offering panoramic sea views before reaching the hotel in Kucukyali.
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.
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.
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.
