Sea of Marmara


We went to the Sea of Marmara yesterday. It is the sea that connects the Black Sea and the Aegean Sea. The farther down you go the more salty it gets. It is very deep going 1370 m down. It also separates Istanbul's Asian and European sides. At the suface it is 22 parts salt per thousand and at the bottom it is 39 parts salt per thousand.
