The Dardanelles lies between the peninsula of Gallipoli in Europe (northwest) and the mainland of Asia Minor (southeast). It has an average depth of 180 feet (55 metres) and reaches a maximum depth of 300 feet (90 metres) in the narrowest central section.
The Balkan Peninsula is bordered on the west by the Adriatic and Ionian seas and on the east by the Black Sea, the Sea of Marmara, the Bosporus and the Dardanelles, and the Aegean Sea. The conventional continental boundary of the Balkan Peninsula is the Danube River to the mouth of the Sava River, and then a line to the top of the Gulf of Trieste.
