Location and Route Overview

Galata By Boss Hotel enjoys a prime location in Istanbul's historic Beyoglu district, specifically in the charming Bereketzade neighborhood. This boutique property sits near the iconic Galata Tower, surrounded by the area's vibrant mix of cafes, art galleries, and boutique shops. The journey from Sabiha Gokcen Airport crosses the Asian side of Istanbul, offering scenic views across the Bosphorus strait.

The 48.5-kilometer route typically follows the E-80 highway before crossing into Europe via the Bosphorus Bridge. The journey passes through key districts like Kadikoy and Uskudar on the Asian side before entering the European shore through Beşiktaş, ultimately reaching the historic Galata quarter.

Transportation Options

Public Transport

Public transportation requires multiple transitions, starting with the HAVABUS to Kadikoy, followed by a ferry crossing and tram or metro connections. This journey typically takes 2+ hours and can be challenging with luggage, especially during peak hours. The final stretch involves walking through Galata's historic streets, which can be steep and crowded.

Airport Shuttle

Shared shuttle services follow fixed schedules with multiple stops, extending journey times significantly. The service requires advance booking and doesn't offer door-to-door convenience, often dropping passengers at central points requiring additional walking to reach the hotel.

Taxi

While taxis are readily available, the cross-city journey can become expensive due to traffic and distance. During peak hours, finding drivers willing to cross the bridge can be challenging, and prices may vary significantly based on traffic conditions and time of day.
