Istanbul Airport to Beyoglu & Galata Taxi: 45–70 min, fixed price

Taxi from Istanbul Airport to Beyoglu takes about 45 to 70 minutes. The car comes down through Şişli and Taksim to the slopes above the Golden Horn. Galata's streets are steep and partly one-way, so send the hotel name and the driver takes the right approach.

Istanbul Airport to Galata Tower taxi drops you as close as the street allows; the last fifty metres around the tower are pedestrian. For Galataport, the cruise terminal has a car drop-off at the Karaköy end. Tell us the ship and the boarding time.

  2. We reply with a fixed price for the car.

Easy communication in English on WhatsApp. The VIP Vito was luxurious with leather seats, and the fixed price beat the yellow cabs with the meter.

We hired the private driver for a day: Hagia Sophia, Topkapı, Grand Bazaar, then the Bosphorus shore. He waited at every stop and knew where to park. Great value.
