The Thracian Sea is the northernmost part of the Aegean Sea. It is bounded by eastern Macedonia, southern Thrace and northwestern Anatolia. It connects to the Black Sea through the Dardanelles Strait, the Marmara Sea, and the Bosphorus Strait.

The entire area of the sea lies north of the 40th parallel. Its length from east to west is from 23°E to about 25.8°E, or from the Strymonian Gulf east to the northernmost part of the Gallipoli peninsula and the width from north to south is about 40.25°N to 41°N, or from the Dardanelles north to the boundary between the Xanthi and the Rhodope regional units.
