The Bosphorus is roughly 19 miles long and varies between 2,300 and 11,500 feet in width, making it one of the world's narrowest straits used for international shipping. About 48,000 ships transit the strait each year, three times the traffic of the Suez Canal. Istanbul is the only city in the world that straddles two continents. The oldest yali along the shore dates back to 1699.
