Istanbul around the pier, on foot and by tram
Our boat leaves from Cibali Pier on the Golden Horn. These guides cover how to get there, what to see in Eminönü, Fener and Balat before boarding, and what you are looking at once we are on the water.

Eminönü before you board
A walkable afternoon-into-evening in Eminönü, in the right order, ending with the tram or the waterfront walk to Cibali Pier as boarding opens at 20:00.

The route, landmark by landmark
Three bridges, four palaces, two fortresses and Maiden's Tower: the loop from Cibali Pier explained in order, with a look-left, look-right column for every landmark.

Getting to Cibali Pier
Tram, metro, taxi, on foot or our transfer: the practical routes to Cibali Pier next to Kadir Has University, with times from each part of the city.
Dinner, the show and both shores, in one evening
No prepayment. Book in a minute, pay on the boat, cancel free up to two hours before departure.
