A must-see❗️The only Bosphorus Strait that spans the Eurasian continent🇹🇷❗️

The Bosphorus Strait connects the Black Sea, the Marmara Sea, and the Mediterranean Sea. Because of its geographical location at the junction of Europe and Asia, it is an important transportation hub. Therefore, it has been a battleground since ancient times. Until today, it has become a very important tourist attraction in Istanbul. You can see many anglers fishing comfortably on the bridge going down the Bosphorus Strait. Taking a boat to travel through the Bosphorus Strait has become one of the rare and must-experience activities when traveling to Turkey❗️👍There are many markets and restaurants nearby, and there is definitely a variety of colorful food. There are many stalls selling corn, and a large portion of corn is only 50 lira❗️ The Bosphorus Strait divides Türkiye into Asian and European parts. Türkiye has become the only country in the world that spans Europe and Asia, with a small part of its territory (Eastern Thrace) in Europe. The Bosphorus Strait in central Istanbul is the dividing point between Asia and Europe. Because it is a major transportation hub connecting Europe and Asia, it has become the first gateway for countries along the Black Sea to go out to sea. As trade and other exchanges between the countries of the two continents continue to increase with the development of human civilization, its geographical location is particularly strategic. Bosporus means "cow crossing" in Greek. Legend has it that Zeus, the king of gods in ancient Greece, once turned into a majestic divine bull and carried a beautiful human princess to swim across this turbulent strait to the other side, which is how the strait got its name. Although the two sides of the Taiwan Strait belong to Europe and Asia respectively, the scenery is very similar. The grass and trees are all green; the tall buildings and small houses are all red. Towering royal palaces left over from the Roman and Ottoman empires stand by the water, and the ruins of ancient castles stand on the shore. In the middle of the strait, there is a medieval castle on each bank, like a pair of mighty lions standing with their heads held high. #Overseas Travel #Turkey 🇹🇷 #Istanbul #travel #amazing
