Getting to the hotel
Galataport is the closest arrival point in Istanbul to our door. Walk out of the terminal, cross the Galata Bridge on foot and you are in Eminönü — Sirkeci is a few minutes further, about 14 minutes in all with the Golden Horn beside you the whole way. If you would rather not walk: the T1 tram from Tophane or Karaköy reaches Sirkeci in two or three stops.
Where to stay
Hotel Marius is in Sirkeci, inside the historic peninsula — the Marmaray and tram stations are about 50 m from the door.
When you arrive
Ships often arrive in the morning, long before check-in at 14:00: leave your suitcases in our luggage room and start on the old city straight away. The hotel arranges a private transfer directly — message the front desk on WhatsApp at +90 530 333 51 61.
Also worth knowing
Istanbul Modern, the city's museum of modern and contemporary art, stands on the Galataport waterfront at its Tophane end — a good first or last stop on a cruise day. It is closed on Mondays, on 1 January and on the first day of religious holidays.
