Back to the Yenikapi Dervish Lodge for a whirling ceremony. Best route from Topagi is taxi to Kabatas, then take the Zeytinburnu tram and get off at Cevivizlibag stop. It takes about 45 mins to an hr and goes through the old city, passing through Sirkeci (where the gar is), Sultan Ahmed, Istanbul U. etc. Get off the tram and walk straight up the hill to the lodge. It is on Mevlevihane Cad. in Merkez Effendi Mah.I took the picture above but not the one below since no photography allowed during the ceremony (thank goodness!)
