Mycale Strait
The Mycale Strait (Greek: Στενό της Μυκάλης) is a narrow strait separating the island of Samos from Anatolia (Turkey). At its narrowest point it is only 1.6 km wide, the narrowest between any Aegean island and Turkey. It is named after the nearby Mount Mycale on the mainland. Dilek Peninsula-Büyük Menderes Delta National Park has been situated along the strait.
