is there a boiling point on the phase diagram? I see condensation and evaporation line, but not sure about the boiling point?!
 
Not unless they tell you the pressure on the axis somewhere. When the partial pressure of a gas = the atmospheric that's where the boiling point is.

Usually they don't give the pressure on the side.

You're looking at it. The boiling point is the pressure & temperature point along the line where condensation/evaporation happens.
