Istanbul

Embarkation

Istanbul's ships use Galataport, on the Bosphorus in Karaköy, which put the terminal back in the middle of the city and made this a walking call again. The Galata Tower is uphill from the pier and the tram crosses to Sultanahmet for the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia in a few minutes.
