Inside the Yenikapi Ferry Terminal

I got up early the next day to catch a ferry to the nearby city of Bursa. I know that I actually passed through Bursa a previous day but I was en route to Istanbul and I didn’t have it as part of my plans that day. I also know that the ferry from Istanbul is faster than the bus, which made it a no brainer for me. The ferry departs from the the Yenikapi Ferry Terminal and it was easy enough to purchase tickets. I only got a one way ticket because I don’t know what time I would be able to come back to Istanbul. On the way to the ferry terminal, I can see quite a few people walking towards the terminal. This gave me confidence that this was the right call.

The terminal is modern and spacious. There is also a cafe where you can grab a little breakfast while waiting for the ferry. I still managed to get a bit of food here while waiting but it wasn’t really anything special. I was constantly keeping an eye on the time since I don’t know if there will even be an announcement for boarding of the ferry. And even if there was, there is a chance that I might not understand it. From the cafe, I can see that there are ships docked and no doubt, one of the ships here would be the one I would take.
