Facing the ruins of the ancient city of Troy, recalling history, remembering the legendary beauty Helen who caused a nation to collapse, and the historical story of the downfall of the kingdom of Troy due to the lust for women. The small town of Canakkale stretches over 1200 meters resembling a long straight line, extending into the Dardanelles, connecting the Sea of Marmara and the Aegean Sea. Situated by the seaport, numerous hotels, restaurants, and cafes provide a comfortable resting place for visitors. Famous tourist attractions here include the castle, the Trojan Horse, and the Canakkale Archaeological Museum. In 1451, Sultan Mehmed ruled Canakkale and ordered the construction of the castle of Kilitbahir facing Europe on the Dardanelles, while another castle was built on the opposite shore at Cimenlik. These two castles in ancient times controlled the passing ships on the sea. The Canakkale Castle now serves as a military museum, showcasing the cruel Canakkale battle during the First World War in 1915. The Gallipoli Peninsula is the final resting place of 500,000 soldiers who sacrificed in World War II, transformed into the Gallipoli Historical National Park. Here, lush green mountains, sun-soaked beaches, and clear turquoise waters provide a tranquil resting place for the fallen heroes. Excavations have uncovered ruins of buildings from 9 different periods, ancient city walls, houses, mosques, and an ancient theater. The symbolic Trojan Horse narrates the legendary battle stories of ancient times to the people.
