Probably my favourite thing to do in Istanbul is taking a cruise on the Bosphorus. You can catch a public transit ferry from one of many docks in the city (Eminonu is the best, in my opinion), and go up the Bosphorus, or across it to the Asian side.It only costs a lira thirty, and offers the best views in the city. From Eminonu I grab a Balik Ekmek (grilled fish sandwich) for three lira, jump on a boat to Uskudar (on the Asian side), and take a seat on the top deck.
There is nothing more pleasurable than standing on the back deck watching the sun set over the Suleiman Mosque, while drinking hot çay.
