Istanbul Ephesus Hotel occupies a strategic position in the historic Fatih district, connecting guests to Istanbul's rich cultural heritage. Located on Aksaray Street, the hotel provides convenient access to both historical attractions and modern amenities. The journey from Galataport Istanbul cruise terminal traverses some of the city's most iconic neighborhoods, passing through the historic peninsula and offering glimpses of landmarks like the Galata Tower, Süleymaniye Mosque, and the vibrant streets of the old city.
Public transportation from Galataport involves combining tram and metro services. Take the T1 tram from Tophane to Aksaray station, followed by a 5-minute walk to the hotel. While economical, this option can be challenging with luggage and during peak hours. The journey typically takes 35-40 minutes, not including waiting times.
Shuttle services from Galataport are primarily designed for airport transfers rather than hotel drops. The limited scheduling and shared nature of these services make them impractical for cruise port to hotel transfers. Additionally, you would need to arrange separate transportation from the shuttle stop to the hotel.
Regular taxis are available at Galataport's taxi stand. The journey takes 20-30 minutes depending on traffic conditions, particularly around the Golden Horn crossing and Aksaray intersection. Prices vary based on traffic and exact route taken, and communication can sometimes be challenging with drivers.
