By 1910, two warehouses were added. During the Republic period, three more were built in 1928, expanding the port’s capacity. The Salipazarı wharf, completed in 1957, shaped Büyük Liman into the bustling port we see today. Today, managed by Türkiye Denizcilik İşletmeleri, Büyük Liman welcomes cruise ships from around the globe. Imagine disembarking here, ready to explore the wonders of Istanbul.
