The route requires navigating through busy pedestrian areas and can be particularly strenuous during peak hours or adverse weather conditions.

Airport Shuttle

Shuttle services from Galataport are primarily designed for cruise ship transfers to airports rather than hotels. These services operate on fixed schedules and don't offer direct routes to hotels, requiring additional arrangements for the final leg of the journey to Rixos Pera Istanbul.
