Galata Bridge in Golden Horn / Istanbul
The Bosphorus is a natural strait and internationally significant waterway located in northwestern Turkey. It forms part of the continental boundary between Europe and Asia, and it separates Asian Turkey from European Turkey. The world's narrowest strait used for international navigation, the Bosporus connects the Black Sea with the Sea of Marmara, and, by extension via the Dardanelles, the Aegean and Mediterranean Seas. Most of the shores of the strait are heavily settled, straddled by the city of Istanbul's metropolitan population of 17 million inhabitants extending inland from both coasts. The Bosphorus and the Dardanelles (formerly Hellespont) strait are known collectively as the Turkish Straits.
