The journey from Galataport Istanbul cruise terminal involves a scenic route along the Bosphorus coastline and through the city's modern infrastructure. The route showcases Istanbul's unique cross-continental character, transitioning from the historic port district to the contemporary Asian side neighborhoods.
The journey spans approximately 24.1 kilometers, following the coastal road through significant Istanbul landmarks. Starting from the vibrant Galataport area, the route passes through Karaköy, continues along the Bosphorus shoreline, crosses the bridge to the Asian side, and proceeds through Kadıköy before reaching Maltepe.

No direct shuttle services operate between Galataport and MaCity Hotel. Available shared shuttles require multiple stops and transfers, making them impractical for cruise passengers with luggage.
While taxis are available at Galataport, the cross-continental journey can be challenging with variable pricing based on traffic conditions. During peak hours, finding a taxi willing to make the journey to Maltepe may be difficult, and language barriers can complicate the trip.
