Lynne – United Kingdom

This is an excellent trip. Just over 2 hours on a very nice boat- we went for the option with snacks. The snacks were great, staff were helpful and friendly and it represented very good value. Highly recommended. We didn’t download the audio guide as the commentary was in English although it was a bit difficult to hear every word.

Meeting point

Make your way to the pier located in front of Kadir Has University, near the Cibali Tram Station. Look for the cruise boat named Mega Lüfer-3, which will be waiting on the waterfront (shoreline) directly across from the university entrance. After getting off at Cibali Tram Station (T5 Line), walk towards the waterfront on your right-hand side. The pier is located along the shoreline — just a 1-minute walk from the station exit. You can use public transportation to reach the meeting point easily: From Eminönü or Alibeyköy: Take the T5 Tram and get off at Cibali Station. From Taksim or Şişli: Take the M2 Metro to Şişhane Station, then walk about 15 minutes across the Atatürk Bridge to reach to the port. From Sultanahmet or Karaköy: Take the T1 Tram to Eminönü, then transfer to T5 Tram and get off at Cibali.
