๐ How can one country be on two continents?
Imagine crossing a bridge and going from Europe to Asia in just a few minutes, without leaving the same countryโฆ ๐ฑ
That's exactly what happens in Turkey!
In this new episode of ๐ โ1 COUNTRY = 1 MYSTERYโ, discover why Turkey has part of its territory in Europe, while the vast majority lies in Asia.

๐น๐ท Anatolia, the Asian part of Turkey
๐ช๐บ Eastern Thrace, located in Europe
๐ The Bosphorus, which runs through Istanbul
๐๏ธ Istanbul, a city located on two continents
๐ The connection between the Black Sea and the Sea of Marmara
๐งญ The geographical boundary between Europe and Asia
๐ Why this geographical position has played a major role in history and trade
The most incredible part?
You can be in Europe, cross a bridge over the Bosphorus, and find yourself in Asia just a few minutes laterโฆ while still being in Istanbul. ๐คฏ
The boundary between Europe and Asia is partly a geographical convention, but Turkey's position remains extraordinary: one country with territory on two continents.
๐ One country. Two continents. One city connecting them.
๐ If you could choose, would you rather live on the European or Asian side of Istanbul? ๐ช๐บ๐
