Why Canakkale matters
Canakkale sits on the Dardanelles strait, the narrow channel that links the Aegean to the Sea of Marmara. It's a laid-back harbour town and the practical base for Troy and the Gallipoli peninsula. Ferries cross constantly between the European and Asian sides.
Talking points
- Ferries cross the strait to the European side.
- It's the base for Gallipoli and Troy.
- A wooden horse from a film sits on the waterfront.
