Istanbul is located in northwest Turkey in the Marmara Region. The Bosphorus, which connects the Sea of Marmara to the Black Sea, divides Istanbul into a European, Thracian side, and an Asian, Anatolian side.
"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbour. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." -Mark Twain
