While some of its religious and social aspects are traditionally associated with Western Asia, it is culturally considered European. Geographically, a small part of its territory is located in Southeastern Europe; the separation between the two continents is delimited by the Turkish Straits (Bosphorus, Sea of Marmara, and Dardanelles). With the Black Sea to the north and the Aegean Sea in the west and the Mediterranean Sea to the southwest, Turkey is surrounded by Bulgaria and Greece to the west, Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia to the northeast, Syria, Iraq and Iran to the southeast.
Istanbul, largest city and principal seaport of Turkey. It was the capital of both the Byzantine Empire and the Ottoman empire. The old walled city of Istanbul stands on a triangular peninsula between Europe and Asia. Sometimes as a bridge, sometimes as a barrier, Istanbul for more than 2,500 years has stood between conflicting surges of religion, culture, and imperial power. For most of those years it was one of the most coveted cities in the world.
