Where is Istanbul ?

Istanbul located in the northern-west part of Turkey ( East of Europe)  is the only city in the World which connects two different continents ( Asia and Europe ). Istanbul lies on 2 continents where the 1/3 of Population lives in the Asian side and 2/3 lives in the more commercial and touristic  European side. 

The European and Asian Sides are separated via bosphorus strait which also known as Istanbul strait. Istanbul strait connects the black sea with Marmara sea. The Transportation between two continents are made with two available bridges; Bosphorus bridge, Fatih Sultan Mehmet bridge and frequent ferry shuttles.

A sub marine channel and Third suspended Bridges are the projects which worked on it to ease the Traffic and transportation between two parts of Istanbul.
