Review:
Bosphorus is a natural strait that connects the Black Sea to the Sea of Marmara, and it separates Asian Turkey from European Turkey. Three suspension toll bridges stretch over the water, but the best way to enjoy the strait is to take one of the many available leisurely boat cruises. These range in length from two hours to the entire day, and special evening tours are offered during the peak summer months. Plenty of excellent seafood restaurants and teahouses line the shores of the strait, and many cruises include stops that allow visitors to enjoy a meal or a drink.
