Canakkale Travel Guide

Canakkale, a small city in Turkey, famed for its situation in the Dardanelles, hardly has anything in itself to take you there, but it is a good base for you to visit Gallipolli and the ruins of Troy. While in this city, take time out to visit the Cimelink Park (open daily from 9am to 10pm), the Ottoman castle built by Sultan Mehemet the Conqueror in 1452, which is now the Army and Navy Museum, and the Archaeological Museum where you can see relics from tombs of Troy and Assos.
