Turkish Straits
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Turkish Strait may refer to one of the two straits in northwestern Turkey at either end of the Sea of Marmara:
- Bosporus is about 30 kms long strait that separates İstanbul in two, and thus making it a transcontinental city bridging Europe and Asia. There are two suspended bridges over the straight connecting two continents, Bosphorus Bridge and Fatih Sultan Mehmet Bridge.
- Dardanelles is 68 kms long strait in Çanakkale Province that was also the scene of the Battle of Gallipoli during the First World War.
