Europe to Asia-Crossing the Bosphorus ⛴️

#wecreate One of the must do when visiting the heart of Türkiye. I have never felt like I’m in a movie when taking any ferry ride in other places. But taking the ferry ride crossing from the European to Asian side of Istanbul is a memorable experience for me. The ferry just cost within 6 lira (one way) for around 15 minutes if you’re taking the ferry from Eminonu (European side) to Uskudar (Asian side). I went around 4pm and visited Maiden’s Tower which about 15 minutes walk. After visited Maiden’s tower I head back to the ferry port. Before heading back to Eminonu I decided to enjoy some dessert and hot chocolate in a cafe nearby the ferry station and it’s so worth it. I head back around 6pm. There’s also busker onboard the ferry playing local Turkish songs with flute and guitar while I enjoy the sunset sky overviewing both sides of Istanbul. First timer tips to Istanbul: Stay in the European side of Istanbul so that you will be near to any attractions / if you join any join in tour the pickup is available. Plus most local that is in Europe side able to speak/understand English so its convenient for you in case you need help to go around or buy something from the shop.
