About Galataport;

With an investment value of 1.8 billion dollars, Galataport Istanbul is among the world's most important destination projects, covering a 1.2 km shoreline along the Bosphorus. Galataport Istanbul offers an ecosystem in the center of the city that combines all the amenities that facilitate daily life through digitalization with the latest technologies. With Galataport Istanbul, the city's historic port has been transformed into a world-class cruise port and a new destination, while at the same time the shoreline, which had been closed to public access for years, has been opened up. With its many features such as its accessible, low-rise buildings designed in a neighborhood concept, its architecture in harmony with the region's historic fabric and its alternative transportation options, Galataport Istanbul offers visitors a "breathing", healthy and safe culture-arts, work, shopping and dining experience. The project, a source of inspiration for similar projects around the world, hosts a terminal that has been brought to life for the first time in the world, designed underground with a special cover system. The historic port, meanwhile, continues to be Istanbul's gateway to the world by sea. The 2,400-vehicle-capacity underground parking lot, one of the pillars of the project, also contributes to solving the city's parking problem. Hotels and travel agencies can easily pick up and drop off their passengers and guests from the parking lots in the D Terminal area. Galataport Istanbul aims to host a total of 25 million visitors per year, 7 million of them foreign, and to welcome approximately 1.5 million cruise passengers, including crew, to Istanbul.
