The Bosphorus or Bosphorus Strait is a narrow, natural strait and an internationally significant waterway. It is located in northwestern Turkey and separates Asian Turkey from European Turkey. It connects the Black Sea with the Sea of Marmara, and, by extension via the Dardanelles, the Aegean and Mediterranean Seas.

The strait is 19 miles (30 km) long, with a maximum width of 2.3 miles (3.7 km) at the northern entrance and a minimum width of 2,450 feet (750 meters) between the Ottoman fortifications of Rumelihisarı and Anadoluhisarı. Its depth varies from 120 to 408 feet (36.5 to 124 meters) in midstream². The Bosphorus is heavily fished, as it is a seasonal migration route for fish to and from the Black Sea.

Taking a Bosphorus Cruise Trip is a unique and fantastic way to discover and enjoy the most beautiful sights and sounds of Istanbul over the sea. You can enjoy spectacular views of historical sites, including Ottoman palaces, fortresses, museums, and the stunning bridges, and soak up the atmosphere along the city’s European and Asian shores.
