Bosphorus
The Bosphorus is a very special place with its strategic location and stunning views. The reason why Istanbul is one of the most important, beautiful and interesting cities in the world is because of the Bosphorus. Both sides of the city are connected with this strait, the north side goes on to the Black Sea and the southern side down to the Sea of Marmara. Countries that share a coast with the Black Sea must pass through this strait to reach the Mediterranean. That’s why the Bosphorus has strategic importance. Besides all this, looking at the Asian continent from the tip of the European continent is an invaluable experience. The Bosphorus Bridge, which connects two important continents Asia and Europe by road, is a magnificent structure that needs to be seen. This bridge is a link that connects not only two land pieces, but also two civilizations, two cultures and brings people closer together. Stunning during the day and elegant at night, the Bosphorus captures the light like no other. This makes it an ideal composition for a beautiful Instagram post.
