Yup, the ferries are indeed a great way to see Istanbul for a pittance. If I remember correctly, I think the ferry in Istanbul costs 50 euro cents. Cheers, Keith Thanks for your comment Anil.

That's a great idea - the sunset cruise in Cape Town. Hi Nico, Thanks for the idea. I once walked the length of the Golden Gate to the park on the other side (can't remember the name), then walked back across the bridge. A bicycle-ferry combination would've been a better idea. Haha!

A fun thing to do is rent a bike and ride across the Golden Gate Bridge to Sausalito, a little town on the Marin County side of the bridge and take the ferry back to the Ferry Terminal. It's super popular and it costs $8 for the ferry and about $30 for the bike for the full day. I also once did a harbor cruise in Hamburg, Germany. Saw the 2nd largest container ship in the world (at the time)! It was pretty thrilling for teenager.

I'd love to cruise the Bosphorus one day. Having just returned from there, I'd add a Lake Como cruise to my favourites. The views were stunning! Nice to see my hometown Sydney featured in your list :) Great list! I’d love to cruise the Bosphorus one day.
