The Galata Mevlevihanesi, or tekke, is a undoubtedly the most famous Mevlevi Whirling Dervish hall. It is located on Galipdede Caddesi, not far from Tünel at the end of Istiklal Caddesi. Also called the Galata Lodge, the first and only original dervish hall in the city. It is undergoing comprehensive restorations, and will reopen its doors in December 2012.
The Rumi Mevlevi also perform in two different locations: the Press Museum (Basın Müzesi) close to theÇemberlitaş Hamam and the Grand Bazaar inSultanahmet, and the event hall of the Sirkeci train station. Unfortunately, the Press Museum  (Basın Müzesi) is now also undergoing restoration works and will not open its door before December 2015.
Whirling Dervishes ceremonies (semas) can be witnessed every day at 19:30, except on Mondays. Tickets are normally 35 TL, but on Saturday 45 TL. Keep in mind though that semas are popular among tourists, so buy your tickets well in advance. For more information or how to order ticket, visit the site of Rumi Mevlevi.
