TOP PICS - ISTANBUL, TURKEY, OCTOBER 1, 2026: Veteran ferries transport passengers and vehicles between the European and Asian sides of Istanbul across the Bosphorus. The city's historic ferry network has remained an essential part of daily life for decades, connecting communities on both shores of the strait and forming an iconic part of Istanbul's maritime identity.
