Turkey is located between

The correct answer is The Black Sea and the Mediterranean Sea.

Key Points

• The Black Sea and the Mediterranean Sea is the correct answer
• Turkey is strategically located between these two major water bodies
• The Bosphorus Strait connects the Black Sea to the Sea of Marmara
• The Dardanelles Strait then connects to the Aegean Sea (part of Mediterranean)
• This unique position gives Turkey control over crucial maritime trade routes

Additional Information

• The Black Sea and the Caspian Sea:
  • These two seas are located to the northeast and east of Turkey
  • They do not border Turkey directly on opposite sides
  • The Caspian Sea is actually landlocked between five countries
  • Georgia and Armenia separate Turkey from the Caspian Sea
  • This option describes a region further east than Turkey's position
• The Gulf of Suez and the Mediterranean Sea:
  • The Gulf of Suez is located in Egypt, far south of Turkey
  • It connects to the Red Sea, not bordering Turkey at all
  • This describes Egypt's position, not Turkey's geography
  • The Suez Canal links the Mediterranean to the Gulf of Suez
  • Turkey has no coastline along the Red Sea or its gulfs
• The Gulf of Aqaba and the Dead Sea:
  • Both these water bodies are located south of Israel and Jordan
  • They form part of Israel's and Jordan's eastern borders
  • Turkey has no access or connection to either of these seas
  • The Dead Sea is actually a hypersaline lake, not a true sea
  • This option describes a location about 1000 km south of Turkey
