Transportation Options

Public Transport

Public transportation from Galataport involves taking the tram from Tophane station to Sultanahmet, followed by a 10-minute walk. While economical, this option requires managing luggage through busy streets and can be challenging during peak tourist seasons. The journey typically takes 30-40 minutes depending on tram timing and walking pace.

Airport Shuttle

Shared shuttle services from Galataport are limited and don't provide direct routes to Sofia Corner Hotel. These services typically require advance booking and follow fixed schedules, making them less convenient for cruise passengers with specific timing needs. Additional walking may be required to reach the hotel's location in the narrow streets of Sultanahmet.

Taxi

Standard taxis are available at Galataport's designated taxi stands. The journey takes 15-25 minutes depending on traffic conditions, particularly around Karaköy and Eminönü. Drivers may have difficulty locating the hotel in Sultanahmet's maze-like streets, and rates can vary based on traffic and route selection.
