Galataport Yolcu Terminali — Local services in Beyoğlu

This was one of our ports of calls (overnight) and terminal was open 24 hrs which was great. Everything was clean and worked efficiently. Port staff was nice.

I actually wanted to provide some information on how to get to the historic city center without taking a taxi. Our experience with cab drivers were not pleasant. It is a 40 min walk so anyone who doesn’t have a mobility issue can do it. We used Uber app to call a taxi because otherwise you have to haggle with them for price and I find that very sketchy!! The Uber driver accepted the ride request for 6€ which was great. Then, he messaged us saying the ride is actually 25€ and not 6€!! Scammer!! Several drivers approached us quoting between 30€ to 50€!! Terrible!!

One ride is 17.70 liras ($0.54)! It’s a flat rate so no need to tap OUT when existing. You only need one metro city card for your entire party. Just keep tap in (either Mastercard or City Metro Card) for each person...

The surface mall at the port is modern and beautiful, but all the walkways look the same, and you will...

Her şeyi güzel modern lakin ilk girişteki pasaport etiketleme sırası nedir, madem böyle bir bekleme ihtiyacı hasıl olacak, orayı da klimalı bir alan haline getirin. Yaşlısı çoluk çocuk perişan bir şekilde bekliyor. Dönüş tam bir kepazelik, gemi yanaşıyor içinden 3500 yolcu çıkıyor pasaport veznesinde dört tane görevli memur. Normalde üç katı vezne mevcutken diğerleri odada çay sigara keyfi yapıyor. Avrupa ülkeleri kendi vatandaşlarına öncelik verirken bizim ülkemiz sizi diğer ülke vatandaşları ile aynı sırada bekletmekten hicap duymuyor. Geminin Yanaşacağı tahliye olacağı belli 1 saat için iki vardiya üç vardiya koyarsın insanlar da mağdur olmaz. Durumu anlatmak için polis amiri arıyoruz o...
