The Mediterranean is linked to the Atlantic Ocean by the Strait of Gibraltar (Cebelitarik), to the Black Sea by the straits of Dardanelles and Bosphorus and to the Red Sea by the Suez Canal.

The Taurus (white bull) Mountains stretch for about 485 km / 300 mi along the southern rim of the Anatolian Plateau, parallel to the Mediterranean Sea, from Egirdir Lake in the west to the Seyhan River in the east. Demirkazik (3,910 m / 12,829 ft), in the easternmost part, is the highest peak in the main range.
