The Pendik Residence offers comfortable accommodation in Istanbul's developing Pendik district, strategically located on Ankara Street. The journey from Galataport Istanbul cruise terminal to the hotel spans 42.1 kilometers, crossing from Europe to Asia across the Bosphorus. This cross-continental route takes you through some of Istanbul's most scenic coastal areas and modern developments.
The journey typically follows the coastal road through Karaköy and Üsküdar, before joining the E5 highway towards Pendik. Along the route, you'll pass by notable landmarks including the historic Haydarpaşa Station and the modern Ataşehir business district. The travel time varies between 45-80 minutes, depending on traffic conditions, particularly during rush hours.
Public transportation requires multiple transfers, starting with a tram or bus from Galataport to Üsküdar, followed by a Marmaray train to Pendik station. From there, you'll need additional local transport to reach the hotel. This journey can take up to 2 hours and can be challenging with luggage.
There are no direct shuttle services available between Galataport and The Pendik Residence. Shared shuttles typically don't operate on this route due to the distance and cross-continental nature of the journey.
While taxis are available at Galataport, the long-distance journey can be costly with variable pricing based on traffic conditions. Many drivers might be reluctant to make the cross-continental trip during peak hours, and communication can be challenging for international visitors.
