The Black Sea is the inland sea of the Atlantic Ocean basin. The Bosphorus Strait connects with the Sea of Marmara, then, through the Dardanelles Strait (these straits are often called the Black Sea Straits) - with the Aegean and Mediterranean Seas. The Kerch Strait connects with the Azov Sea. From the north, the Crimean peninsula cuts deep into the sea. The water border between Europe and Asia runs along the surface of the Black Sea.
