Transportation Options

Public Transport

While public transport is available, it involves an uphill walk from the port area. The steep incline and narrow streets can be challenging with luggage. During peak cruise arrival times, public transport options can become crowded and uncomfortable.

Airport Shuttle

Shuttle services from Galataport are primarily designed for airport transfers and don't offer direct hotel drop-offs. The nearest shuttle stop would still require walking uphill with luggage through cobblestone streets.

Taxi

Regular taxis are available at Galataport, but availability can be limited during cruise ship arrivals. Many drivers prefer longer routes to other districts, and negotiating the narrow Galata quarter streets can be challenging for drivers unfamiliar with the area.
