The 5.8 km route from Galataport cruise terminal follows the scenic Bosphorus coastal road through Karaköy, passing by the Istanbul Modern and the entrance to the historic Galata district.

Public transportation from Galataport requires multiple transitions, including tram and walking portions. The nearest tram stop involves a walk from the cruise terminal, and managing luggage through crowded public transport can be challenging.

Shared shuttle services from Galataport operate on fixed schedules with multiple stops, extending journey times. Limited luggage space and preset departure times may not align with cruise arrival schedules, making this option less convenient for cruise passengers.
