Transfer services
On a cruise, time is not flexible: the ship does not wait. So planning for port transfers works differently from airport transfers, and it works backwards.
Galataport sits right in the centre of the city. That looks like an advantage, but the surrounding traffic and the vehicle access arrangement can lengthen the journey. The planning accounts for it.
Calculate your price
In short
Galataport is located in the Karaköy district inside the city centre, roughly three kilometres from Sultanahmet.
For cruise transfers, planning works backwards from the ship's departure time and the pickup time is set from it.
Cruise passengers typically carry more luggage than air passengers, so the vehicle class is selected by luggage volume.
Arrival at the port is set for at least two hours before the ship sails. That margin covers the boarding queue and luggage handover.
For guests who want to combine a city tour with the port transfer, the hire service fits better: the vehicle stays with you all day and the return to the port is planned from the start.
Popular routes
Vehicle access is restricted in the core of Sultanahmet and many hotels cannot be reached by car. The driver stops at the nearest legal drop-off point and carries your luggage to the door.
