🔔Çanakkale, city, northwestern Turkey. It is located at the mouth of the Koca River (the ancient Rhodius River), on the Asian side of the Dardanelles.

Originally a 15th-century Ottoman fortress called Kale-i Sultaniye, it had by the 18th century developed a reputation for its pottery, whence its name (Turkish çanak, “pot,” and kale, “fortress”). The pottery industry reached its peak in the 18th and 19th centuries and has now declined, but the city has become one of the chief centres of the Turkish fish-canning industry. It is connected by steamer service with Istanbul. Because of its location controlling the Dardanelles (Turkish: Çanakkale Boğazı), less than 1 mile (1.6 km) wide at that point, Çanakkale has always been strategically important. It was damaged by British bombardment during World War I. Pop. (2000) 75,810; (2013 est.) 111,137.
Çanakkale is located at the entrance of the Dardanelles, which connects the Aegean and Marmara Seas. It is a place where the leaders, commanders, warriors, artists, philosophers, explorers, and poets who are important for humanity throughout history have come across.

Listed in the UNESCO World Heritage List, the lands where legendary war of Homer’s ILIAD, and the Dardanelles Campaign, the source of pride of the Turkish nation, are located on both sides of the Straits. Straits separating the European continent and the Asian continent (Dardanelles/Hellespont).

Çanakkale is the eternal resting place of honorable soldiers who lost their lives on the Gallipoli campaign.

Gallipoli Peninsula National Park (Gelibolu Yarımadası Milli Parkı) was established to immortalize the soldiers who lost their lives in this region during the Çanakkale Campaign. National park is home to natural beauty such as Arıburnu Hills (Arıburnu Tepesi) and Tuzla Lake (Tuzla Gölü), as well as monuments, tombs, and statues. Green hills, sandy beaches, and blue waters are actual resting place of the brave soldiers who lost their lives here.

Gökçeada is located just across Çanakkale as one of Türkiye's largest islands.

When you approach Bozcaada, the first thing that draws your attention is Bozcaada Castle (Bozcaada Kalesi). Afterwards, your eyes will shift to the white houses, restaurants, and cafés on the beach. Since the island is famous for its wines, it would be a nice option to take a tour to see the vineyards. Ayazma, Poyraz, and İğdelik host sand beaches.

When you arrive at the port of Çanakkale, the wooden Trojan Horse, which is the symbol of the legendary Trojan War, will welcome you.

Archaeological Site of Troy
Troy, with its 4,000 years of history, is one of the most famous archaeological sites in the world. The first excavations at the site were undertaken by the famous archaeologist Heinrich Schliemann in 1870. In scientific terms, its extensive remains are the most significant demonstration of the first contact between the civilizations of Anatolia and the Mediterranean world. Moreover, the siege of Troy by Spartan and Achaean warriors from Greece in the 13th or 12th century B.C., immortalized by Homer in the Iliad, has inspired great creative artists throughout the world ever since.

Outstanding Universal Value
Brief synthesis

The Archaeological Site of Troy has 4,000 years of history. Its extensive remains are the most significant and substantial evidence of the first contact between the civilizations of Anatolia and the burgeoning Mediterranean world. Excavations started more than a century ago have established a chronology that is fundamental to the understanding of this seminal period of the Old World and its cultural development. Moreover, the siege of Troy by Mycenaean warriors from Greece in the 13th century B.C., immortalized by Homer in The Iliad, has inspired great artists throughout the world ever since.

Troy is located on the mound of Hisarlık, which overlooks the plain along the Turkish Aegean coast, 4.8 km from the southern entrance to the Dardanelles. The famous archaeologist Heinrich Schliemann undertook the first excavations at the site in 1870, and those excavations could be considered the starting point of modern archaeology and its public recognition. Research and excavations conducted in the Troia and Troas region reveal that the region has been inhabited for 8,000 years.
