Yes but Turkey is in both Europe and Asia. Only a small part of the country is in Europe, the majority in Asia. It is politically considered to be in Europe, but geographically, it is mainly distributed in Asia. Istanbul, the capital is the only city in the world that is bi-continental

Yes, Turkey is a transcontinental country, with a small portion of its land located in southeastern Europe and the majority in western Asia. The city of Istanbul, historically known as Constantinople, straddles both continents.
