nav1027 Posted August 25, 2023 #1 Share Posted August 25, 2023 Hello everyone, Would you be so kind to share any information on the ship's shuttle service in Athens and Istanbul? Where do the shuttles take you (and whether they pick you up right at the pier)? Thank you so much! AT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare drron29 Posted August 26, 2023 #2 Share Posted August 26, 2023 (edited) When we have been through Athens it has always been a change over day so transit passengers usually given an excursion. On our last cruise on the Moon only 18 transit passengers and only 2 didn't take the excursion so there was no shuttle.

nav1027 Posted September 9, 2023 Author #3 Share Posted September 9, 2023 It seems that we'll be on our own in Athens. 🙂 What is everyone's experience with Istanbul? Are there any shuttles there from the port to the historic center? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare RachelG Posted September 9, 2023 #4 Share Posted September 9, 2023 InIstanbul, the port is right downtown in the middle of the city. Don’t really need a shuttle, and I don’t think there was one provided last year when we visited. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nav1027 Posted December 12, 2023 Author #5 Share Posted December 12, 2023 On the Moon now in Istanbul. There is a shuttle every 30 minutes to the center of the city from the Galataport terminal on the other side of the Golden Horn. The pickup location is on a pedestrian street next to the Gate 1 of the Grand Bazaar. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a shuttle every 30 minutes to the center of the city "Center of the city" In a huge metropolis like Istanbul, that really doesn't say much. Are you meaning the area around Hagia Sophia, Taksim Square or any of a dozen other "centers" of activity in town? Like the "center" of Manhattan.....Wall Street, Times Square, Central Park, Macy's....... Personally, I just use the trams and metro to get around -- far faster than fighting through traffic in a bus or taxi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm, I thought that I was clear that the shuttle runs between the cruise terminal and the Grand Bazaar (Gate 1). Sorry if this was confusing to you! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kauaijim Posted December 12, 2023 #8 Share Posted December 12, 2023 It was clear. Great city to both wander in or focus on specifics. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
