Galataport | Istanbul 🇹🇷 | Summer 2024 | Walk with me

The everlasting relationship between Istanbul and the sea dates back to long before Christ when the first settlers decided to call this perfect natural harbor home. Today, Istanbul has a new gateway out to the sea, while the historic cruise port of Karaköy reincarnates as Galataport -an ambitious urban project that has transformed a former 1,2-km industrial strip along the Bosphorus. Although much disputed by history buffs, this modern complex has been an instant magnet for locals, and tourists alike, with unbeatable panoramic views of Istanbul’s historic skyline, as well as with a unique combo of fashion outlets, dining venues and world-class art museums.
