billrco90278 Posted May 11, 2014 #1 Share Posted May 11, 2014 (edited) What fare should I expect to pay for a cab from the Istanbul Celebrity cruse dock to Taksim Square? Is the fare the same both ways? Is there anything else I should know? I have read warning about Istanbul taxis so want to know the honest price. Thank you.

4774Papa Posted May 12, 2014 #2 Share Posted May 12, 2014 It is walkable, although you will have to walk uphill a bit. I am 66 and did the walk easily. Taxis are inexpensive, so if you don't wish to walk, it should not be expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeHeartCruising Posted May 15, 2014 #3 Share Posted May 15, 2014 I also cannot help with the taxi cost, but I also walked it with no issues. But I did not take the shortest path up the hill. I walked there and back from the Galata Tower area along a busy business-filled street. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeyetlse Posted May 15, 2014 #4 Share Posted May 15, 2014 Taksim is only about a mile away, if that, so I would expect the fare to be well under 10 TL (which is less than $5). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iancal Posted May 16, 2014 #5 Share Posted May 16, 2014 We found that the taxi drivers who are waiting in the port drop off area want to charge a high rate, no meter. We usually walked, but when we needed a taxi we either went out on the street or we walked a block or so towards the bridge and then got on.
