Istanbul Bosphorus sightseeing tour: Between Two Continents

On the map, the Bosphorus Strait looks like a thin strip of water dividing, and at the same time connecting Europe and Asia, the Black Sea with the Marmara Sea. On both sides, there are two banks of the majestic city, which for several centuries was the capital of the Roman, Byzantine, Ottoman empires. These shores are crowned with ancient areas, fortresses, sultan's palaces, and mosques, which you can see as part of a tour of the Bosphorus in Istanbul.
