Public transportation from Galataport involves taking the tram from Tophane station to Sultanahmet, followed by a 10-minute walk.

The journey typically takes 30-40 minutes depending on tram timing and walking pace.
Shared shuttle services from Galataport are limited and don't provide direct routes to Sofia Corner Hotel.
