Abstract	:	The Dardanelles is a strait in northwestern Turkey that unites the Marmara and the Aegean Seas and divides Europe from Asia. It is about 62 kilometres in length, and has a width ranging from 1250 meters to 8 kilometres and an average depth of 55 metres. Its name derives from classical myth, as does its other appellation, Hellespont, which was used by the ancient Greeks and later Byzantines. The Ottomans called it Ak Deniz Boğazı (Aq Deniz Boghazı), Kale-i Sultaniyye (Qalʿe-i Sulṭāniyye Boghazı), or, as today, Çanak-kale
