A Turyol passenger ferry navigates the Bosphorus Strait in Istanbul under a clear blue sky, surrounded by dozens of seagulls in flight. In the background, the historic Süleymaniye Mosque — a 16th-century Ottoman imperial mosque designed by architect Mimar Sinan — dominates the hillside skyline of the Eminönü and Fatih districts. Multiple vessels are visible on the water, reflecting the Bosphorus's role as one of the world's busiest and most iconic waterways, connecting the European and Asian sides of Istanbul.
