    Where is Turkey located?

To the north, the Baltic Sea is along the coast of Turkey, while the Mediterranean Sea is below Turkey along its southern and southwestern borders. Though predominantly considered part of western Asia, Turkey is a transcontinental country, in reality, meaning that the country’s borders contain land areas that are part of more than one continent.
