About the Esenler to Galataport Route: From Historic Settlements to Istanbul’s Cruise Waterfront

Esenler developed around the historic settlements of Litros and Avas, which were agricultural villages during the Byzantine and Ottoman periods. After the population exchange, families arriving from Eastern Macedonia settled in the former villages and contributed to the area’s changing cultural and urban identity.

The historic names remained in use until changes introduced between 1937 and 1940, when Litros became Esenler and Avas became Atışalanı. Esenler later separated from Güngören and officially became an independent Istanbul district in 1993. A pre-booked Galataport private transfer provides direct transportation to the cruise waterfront without requiring passengers to carry luggage between metro services, trams, buses and taxis.
