Transportation Options

Public Transport

While public transport is available, it involves a challenging uphill walk from the port area. The steep incline of Yuksek Kaldirim Street, combined with luggage handling, can be particularly strenuous. During peak cruise arrival times, public transport options can become crowded and uncomfortable.

Airport Shuttle

Standard shuttle services from Galataport do not provide direct routes to individual hotels. These services typically drop passengers at central points, requiring additional travel arrangements and potential walking with luggage through busy streets.

Taxi

Regular taxis are available at Galataport's taxi stand, but availability can be limited during cruise ship arrivals. The narrow, often congested streets around Galata can lead to varying fare rates, and some drivers may be reluctant to make the short but complex journey.
