Istanbul
Pick a side of the Bosphorus first. A Kadıköy evening and a Karaköy or Beyoğlu evening are each good plans on their own. Keep a timed show and your meeting point in the same area where possible.

Kadıköy and Moda
Start near the Kadıköy ferry area and choose one route into the neighbourhood. Moda and Yeldeğirmeni make different directions for a walk, so pick the one closer to your venue and leave time for a conversation.
Karaköy and Beyoğlu
Use the venue address to decide whether to meet by the water or uphill in Beyoğlu. When a group is arriving by different routes, a named entrance is easier to find than a whole neighbourhood.
Keep the crossing flexible
A ferry crossing can be part of the outing when the schedule allows. For a fixed performance, check the current service and programme language before committing to an itinerary across the city.
