The Dardanelles, a long narrow strait dividing the Balkans along the Gallipoli peninsula from Asia Minor Map showing the location of the Dardanelles relative to the Bosphorus and the Sea of Marmara The Dardanelles, formerly known as Hellespont, is a narrow strait in northwestern Turkey connecting the Aegean Sea to the Sea of Marmara. It is one of the Turkish Straits, along with its counterpart, the Bosphorus. It is located at approximately 40°13′N 26°26′E / 40.217°N 26.433°E / 40.217; 26.433. The strait is 61 kilometres long but only 1.2 to 6 kilometres wide, averaging 55 metres deep with a maximum depth of 103 metres.

Like the Bosphorus, it separates Europe from the mainland of Asia. The strait is an international waterway, and together with the Bosphorus, the Dardanelles connects the Black Sea to the Mediterranean Sea.
