Transportation Options

Public Transport

Airport Shuttle

No direct shuttle services operate between Galataport and individual hotels. Available shared shuttles typically service multiple stops, resulting in extended journey times and potential waiting periods at the port.

Taxi

Regular taxis are available at Galataport's taxi stands. However, during cruise ship arrivals, finding an available taxi can be challenging. Prices may vary based on traffic conditions, and some drivers might take longer routes through congested areas.
