Turkish Coast
Istanbul
Sea of Marmara and the Straights
Mark Merlino - Home page
The waters that Separate the continents of Europe and Asia.
The Bosporus, which is the stretch of water connecting the Marmara Sea and Black Sea is pleasant and beautiful. There are many beautiful
villas, cafes, and you can spend ages sitting here watching the ships sail by.  As well, along this coast, there is the 15th c. Ottoman Fortress
of
Rumeli Hisari.
Along the Marmara coast of the old city of Istanbul, there are
still remains of the ancient Byzantine
Sea Walls.
The Sea of Marmara meets the city of Istanbul in the North.  This photo is
taken of the meeting point of the
Bopsporus and Marmara from Topkapi Saray.
