Transportation Options

Public Transport

While the distance is relatively short at 3.6 km, public transportation requires some planning. Walking uphill through steep streets with luggage can be challenging, especially in summer heat or winter conditions. The tram service, while available, involves walking distances and may not be convenient with cruise luggage.

Airport Shuttle

Shuttle services from Galataport operate on fixed schedules and primarily focus on airport transfers rather than hotel drops. The shared nature of these services means multiple stops and extended waiting times, which may not be ideal after a cruise journey.

Taxi

Regular taxis are available at Galataport's taxi stands, but availability can be limited during cruise ship arrivals. Traffic in the narrow streets of Karaköy and Galata can lead to meter increases, and some drivers may be unfamiliar with the hotel's exact location in the back streets of Beyoglu.
