Transportation Options

Public Transport

Public transportation from Galataport involves a combination of walking and either the historic tram or bus service. The nearest tram station is at Tophane, requiring a short walk from the cruise terminal. From there, you can either continue walking uphill or take a connecting bus to reach the hotel. This option can be challenging with luggage due to the steep inclines and multiple transfers required.

Airport Shuttle
