Bosphorus(Istanbul Strait)

The Bosphorus, also known as the Istanbul strait, connects the Black Sea to the north and the Sea of Marmara and the Mediterranean to the south, dividing Türkiye into Asian and European parts. The undulating waters are dotted with ships of all sizes, either anchored or sailing through, while seagulls soar under the blue sky, creating a delightful scene. Today, this 31 km stretch of water, where natural beauty and historical sites complement each other, has become one of Türkiye's tourist attractions. A common way to explore the Bosphorus is by taking a cruise. Sailing along, you can admire the scenic views on both shores, pass under bridges, gaze at the cityscape in the distance, and enjoy the seamless blend of sea and sky. The scenery is particularly enchanting during sunset over the strait.
