Bosphorus

The Bosphorus Strait, which is also known the Istanbul strait, is part of the boundaries between the European Turkey and the Asian Turkey. It is made up of the Black Sea and the Sea of Marmara and is spanned by two bridges- the Bosphorus Bridge and Fatih Sultan Mehmet, or the Bosphorus II Bridge. The Dolmabahce Palace, Yildiz Palace and Ciragan Palace line the shore of the Bosphorus and can be seen from a boat.
