Destination Guides Canakkale

Canakkale is a town and seaport in Turkey, in Canakkale Province, on the southern (Asian) coast of the Dardanelles (or Hellespont) at their narrowest point.

Canakkale Province, like Istanbul Province, has territory in both Europe and Asia. Ferries cross here to the northern (European) side of the strait.

Canakkale is the nearest major town to the site of ancient Troy. The "wooden horse" from the 2004 movie Troy is exhibited on the seafront.
