Every day, a fleet of ferries cuts through Istanbul's waters, their swirling wakes forming a tapestry as intricate as the city's rich heritage. More than just transport, these vessels are woven into the very fabric of Istanbul — as iconic as its minarets and as ever-present as the call of seagulls. Carrying over 40 million passengers annually — from daily commuters to wide-eyed tourists — the ferries don't just move people; they carry memories, conversations and the pulse of a city that never stops flowing.
