Istanbul is the largest city in Turkey and is recorded to be the fifth-largest city in the world with respect to population. It is the only major city located on two continents. One part of Istanbul lies in Asia and the second one lies in Europe. The Asian and European sides of Istanbul are separated by the Bosphorus strait that is a 31 km long waterway that connects Istanbul’s two continents. The natural boundary of the two continents is covered by the Sea of Marmara and the Black Sea.
