There are two ways to get on the water here: one can take a ferry ($0.75 each way) across Bosphorus or take a tour boat that goes for a hour or so along the strait and listen to the tour guide along the way. We did both, the ferry more than once as it is much easier to get to the other side this way rather than taking the bridge which is rather far from us.
The ferry:
For some reason every time we were on the water somebody was feeding the seagulls. Never seen this in other parts of the world, but here it is a thing to do on a boat :)))

A couple of night views from the ferry:
Ferry inside. It has three levels, two covered, one on the roof. We usually were on the open level, but I don't have any pictures of it, this the bottom level when we were coming back late and was too cold to be outside.
