Southeast Europe.
Constantinople was in Greece.
First of all, Constantinople was in a natural cross road for land and sea trade routes. Second, Constantinople was on a peninsula, so it was very easy to defend. Finally, Constantinople had a secret weapon in Greek fire, which could burn on water. Since Constantinople was surrounded by water on three sides Greek fire was invaluable in sea battles.
No, it's not true. Constantinople was ideally located for both land and sea trade routs. Just look at a map of the area and you will see for yourself.
Southeast Europe.
It was built along the Bering Strait. It's land is like a peninsula, surrounded by 3 sides of water. (EXAMPLE: Florida)
The type of land mass is a continent; specifically, the one we now call Europe and more particularly, the country of Turkey. Nowadays Constantinople is called Istanbul. There's a song about it.
Prior to the fall of Istanbul to the Ottomans, Byzantium had lost its status as a powerful empire: its land mass holdings had shrunk to the territories of Constantinople, Silivri Castle on the Marmara Shore and several small towns, such as Vize and Misivri.
The shortest trade route between India and Constantinople would be the land and sea route. This route would involve traveling overland from India to a port on the Arabian Sea, then sailing across the Arabian Sea, through the Red Sea, and finally into the Mediterranean Sea to reach Constantinople. This combination of land and sea travel would be more efficient than either the land or sea route alone due to geographical constraints and historical trade patterns.
Constantinople provided easy trade and military access to the Mediterranean, Black Sea, Danube River, Dnieper River, and the land route to Turkestan and India.
