The journey from Galataport to Nabu Hotel covers 2.3 kilometers through the historic streets of Karakoy, passing by notable landmarks and the area's characteristic blend of modern and traditional architecture.
The route follows the waterfront promenade, offering stunning views of the Bosphorus before turning into the atmospheric streets of Karakoy. This journey typically takes 8-12 minutes, depending on pedestrian traffic and time of day, as the area is known for its busy street life and active commercial district.

Standard shuttle services are not typically available for this short inner-city route. Most shuttle services focus on airport transfers rather than cruise port to hotel transportation.
