Bosphorus

The Bosporus Strait, which divides Istanbul in two, is also known as the Strait of Istanbul. It connects the Black Sea in the north to the Marmara and Mediterranean Sea in the south, splitting Turkey into a European side and an Asian side. Both sides are famous historical districts in Istanbul.

We have been to Istanbul last May. Bosphorus cruise is must see. You can enjoy city sightseeing for 1 hour with very affordable price.

The Bosphorus Strait can take a cruise around, there is a car to pick up the hotel, the ship provides free biscuits and tea, the ship will be in English, Russian (there are many Turkish Russian tourists), Turkish broadcast on both sides of the attractions introduction, in the downstairs cabin can be heard clearly, other places can not hear clearly. After the cruise ship docked on the Asian side, all tourists disembarked, gathered around and then boarded the ship back to the European side. The return journey of the ship was very fast, about 15m away, and then the car was returned to the hotel.

The Bosphorus Strait, also known as the Istanbul Strait, communicates the Black Sea and Marmara Sea, and separates the Asian and European parts of Turkey. In the middle of the strait there is a rapid flow from the Black Sea to the Marmara Sea, and under the water there is a counter current to bring salty seawater from the Marmara Sea to the Black Sea. The fishery is abundant because fish travel seasonally through the straits to and from the Black Sea. Trees are lush on both sides of the Strait, with villages, tourist attractions, ornate residences and villas scattered.

博斯普鲁斯海峡又称伊斯坦布尔海峡沟通黑海和马尔马拉海，并将土耳其亚洲部分和欧洲部分隔开的海：峡。全长30公里。北面入海口最宽处3.7公里。海峡中央有一股由黑海流向马尔马拉海的急流，水面底下又有一股逆流把含盐的海水从马尔马拉海带到黑海。因鱼群季节性地通过海峡往返黑海，故渔业颇盛。海峡两岸树木葱郁，村庄、游览胜地、华丽的住所和别墅星罗棋布。
