Transportation Options

Public Transport

While public transport is available, it requires a combination of tram and walking. From Galataport, guests need to walk to Tophane tram station and take the T1 line to Sultanahmet. The final leg requires walking through narrow historic streets with luggage, which can be challenging, especially with heavy cruise baggage.

Airport Shuttle

Regular shuttle services are not available for this route as it's a cruise port to hotel transfer. Group shuttle services typically only operate between airports and central locations, not for cruise port transfers.

Taxi

Standard taxis are available at Galataport, but availability can be limited during cruise ship arrival times. Taxi fares may vary based on traffic conditions, and drivers might take longer routes through the busy streets of Eminönü, potentially increasing the fare.
