Transportation Options

Public Transport

While public transportation is available, it requires multiple transitions. You'll need to walk from Galataport to Tophane tram station, take the tram to Kabataş, then either catch a bus or metro to Gayrettepe. This journey can take 45-60 minutes, depending on connection times, and may be challenging with luggage.

Airport Shuttle

Regular shuttle services are not available for this route, as most shuttle services focus on airport transfers. The lack of direct shuttle options makes this an impractical choice for cruise passengers heading to the hotel.

Taxi

Taxis are readily available at Galataport, but availability can be limited during peak cruise ship arrival times. Journey times can vary significantly based on traffic conditions, especially during rush hours. Fares may vary depending on the route taken and traffic situations.
