Does anyone know if there is an Istanbulkart kiosk inside Galataport cruise terminal? I see they are located at the airport, but was hoping to find a ticket machine when disembarking from a cruise. I would like to avoid the possibility of running into a “helpful scammer” at the Tophane tram stop. Thank you in advance for any insights.

I'd ask at the info desk at the cruise port, I'm sure this has come up. But as you can now use your contactless credit card to tap and pay for trams, you can skip the Istanbulkart (and paying the extra nonrefundable fee for it). FWIW I had a helpful person help me and didn't get scammed as far as I know.
