Transportation Options

Public Transport

Public transportation from Galataport involves taking the historic Tünel funicular or combining a tram ride with a significant uphill walk. This option requires managing luggage through crowded streets and can be challenging during peak hours. The journey typically takes 25-35 minutes depending on waiting times and walking pace.

Airport Shuttle

There are no direct shuttle services between Galataport and the hotel. Group shuttle services primarily focus on airport transfers rather than port-to-hotel transportation, making this option unavailable for cruise passengers.

Taxi

While taxis are available at Galataport, finding one willing to make the short journey during peak cruise ship arrivals can be challenging. The narrow, often congested streets around Istiklal Avenue can lead to longer journey times and higher fares than expected. Vehicle access to Istiklal Street is also restricted during certain hours.
