The journey from Galataport cruise terminal traverses iconic parts of Istanbul, crossing from the European side to the Asian side via the Bosphorus Bridge, offering spectacular city views throughout the transfer.
Public transportation from Galataport requires multiple transfers. You'll need to take the tram to Kabataş, then a ferry to Kadıköy, followed by a bus or minibus to Maltepe. This journey typically takes 90-120 minutes, depending on connection times and traffic conditions. Managing luggage through these transitions can be challenging, especially during peak hours.
Regular shuttle services are not available for this route as shuttle companies primarily focus on airport transfers. The lack of direct shuttle options makes this an impractical choice for travelers with luggage or those seeking convenient transport from the cruise port.
While taxis are available at Galataport, the cross-continental journey can be costly with variable pricing based on traffic conditions. During peak hours, finding a taxi willing to make the long journey to Maltepe might be challenging. The ride typically takes 45-75 minutes, depending on traffic conditions on the Bosphorus Bridge and coastal route.
