Life along the Haliç - A ferry nice ride
Monday, 06 February 2012 22:30
As the ferries, cruisers and container ships seemingly miss each other by a hair’s breadth at the start of the Bosporus, a smaller ferry weaves its way through this finely calibrated chaos on its way from Üsküdar to Eyüp.
Istanbul by boat

When Istanbul's heat, humidity and smog become too much to bear, cheap and easy relief is only a walk downhill to the ferry docks. It's almost always 20 degrees cooler on the water, and the views of the city's famous Sultanahmet and Galata districts, especially at sunset, are brilliant. Whether up the Bosporus or Golden Horn, out to the Princes' Islands or a tour of shoreline villages, most rides cost about a dollar each.

Public transport
Istanbul's public transit system can be difficult to figure out; maps are rare and you often have to transfer, and pay another fare, to get where you are going. However, if you put some effort into it, you can avoid taxis and not walk too much.
