The Dardanelles is the 61-km-long strait between the Aegean Sea and the Marmara Sea. It is the westernmost section of the waterway that divides Europe from Asia and connects the Mediterranean and Black seas. The width is 1-6 km and the average depth is 100 m. Unlike the Bosphorus in Istanbul, there is no bridge on the Dardanelles - passenger and car ferries run daily between Çanakkale on the Asian side and Eceabat and Kilitbahir on the European side. (Location: Çanakkale)
