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.
