The Bosphorus is a natural strait that separates Europe from Asia, running through the heart of Istanbul. It connects the Black Sea to the Sea of Marmara, making it a significant waterway for trade and travel. Along its shores, visitors can marvel at historical sites such as the Dolmabahçe Palace, Rumeli Fortress, and the iconic Bosphorus Bridge. This scenic channel offers breathtaking views, best experienced via boat tours that showcase Istanbul’s blend of ancient and modern worlds.
