Transportation Options

Public Transport

Public transportation from Galataport involves taking the tram from Tophane station to Sultanahmet, followed by a short walk. While economical, this option requires managing luggage through busy streets and up some inclines, which can be challenging with heavy bags. Service frequency varies throughout the day, and the journey can take 30-45 minutes depending on waiting times.

Airport Shuttle

Shuttle services from Galataport are primarily designed for cruise passengers heading to airports rather than hotels. They operate on fixed schedules and don't offer direct service to Hotel Turkoman, requiring additional arrangements for the final leg of the journey.

Taxi

While taxis are readily available at Galataport, finding drivers familiar with the narrow streets of Sultanahmet can be challenging. Traffic conditions around the historic peninsula can significantly impact journey times and fares, particularly during peak tourist hours. The route through busy tourist areas can lead to variable pricing.
