Located on Akbiyik Street, the hotel offers convenient access to iconic landmarks like the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia. The journey from Galataport Istanbul to Hotel Aslan covers 6.2 kilometers through some of Istanbul's most historic districts. The route follows the scenic Bosphorus coastal road before entering the atmospheric streets of the old city.
While public transport is available, it requires multiple transfers between tram lines and involves walking with luggage through crowded streets. The journey typically takes 35-45 minutes, depending on waiting times and crowds at transfer points. The nearest tram stop to the hotel is Sultanahmet, followed by a 5-minute walk.
Shared shuttle services from Galataport have limited schedules and don't offer direct routes to Sultanahmet hotels. Multiple stops along the way can significantly extend journey time, and advance booking is usually required. Limited luggage space can also be problematic for cruise passengers.
While taxis are readily available at Galataport, finding one willing to use the meter can be challenging during peak cruise ship arrivals. Traffic through the historic peninsula can be unpredictable, and drivers may not be familiar with the narrow streets of Sultanahmet.
