There's a funny thing about Turkiye. Looking at a map of its major bodies of water is remarkably like looking a box of Prang watercolors.
The Turkish name for the Mediterranean is Ak Deniz, which translates to "White Sea."
The Turkish name for the Black Sea is Kara Deniz - "Black Sea."
The Turkish name for the Red Sea, near Egypt, is Kirmizi Deniz - "Red Sea."
Of course, things take a turn for the Goth with the salty Olu Deniz - "Dead Sea."
It's like a slightly macabre Dr. Seuss rhyme - "White Sea, Black Sea, Red Sea, Dead Sea."
