The Turkish club welcomed the 25-year-old with a video post on Twitter showing Meras entering the Black Eagles' home stadium, Vodafone Park, picking up his Besiktas jersey from the pitch.
In a statement on Borsa Istanbul, the Istanbul club said that it would pay a transfer fee of €1.5 million ($1.7 million) to Le Havre.
The Istanbul club added that Meras sealed a three-plus-one-year contract.
