Transportation Options

Public Transport

While public transportation is available, it requires multiple transfers and walking with luggage.

This option can be challenging with cruise luggage and takes approximately 40-45 minutes.

Airport Shuttle

Regular shuttle services do not operate on this route as it's primarily a cruise port to hotel transfer. The lack of scheduled services makes this option unavailable for most travelers arriving at Galataport.

Taxi

Taxis are readily available at Galataport, but during peak cruise arrival times, finding an available taxi can be challenging. Prices may vary significantly based on traffic conditions, and some drivers might be unfamiliar with the hotel's exact location in the Grand Bazaar area.
