Transportation Options

Public Transport

Public transportation from Galataport involves multiple steps, including tram and walking combinations. The T1 tram line from Tophane station requires a 10-minute walk from the port, followed by a ride to Sultanahmet. From there, guests need to walk about 10-15 minutes through the historic streets to reach the hotel. While economical, this option can be challenging with luggage, especially during peak tourist seasons.

Airport Shuttle

Shared shuttle services from Galataport are limited and do not provide direct routes to Sultan Corner Old City Hotel. Most shuttle services focus on airport transfers rather than port-to-hotel transportation. The irregular schedules and multiple stops make this an impractical option for cruise passengers with luggage.

Taxi

While taxis are readily available at Galataport, finding drivers willing to make the short journey through the congested old city streets can be challenging during peak hours. The narrow, historic streets around the hotel can also pose navigation challenges for drivers unfamiliar with the area. Fare negotiations and communication can be problematic for international visitors.
