OVERVIEW

The City of the Heroes Who Rewrote History

The city of Çanakkale lies in the entrance of the Dardanelles: connecting the Aegean Sea and the Sea of Marmara. Throughout history, it has been a crossroads for many important leaders, commanders, warriors, artists, philosophers, explorers, and poets.

The land that witnessed the legendary war that inspired Iliad and the Odyssey, and where UNESCO World Heritage site Troy is located. The source of pride for Turkish nation, being the site where the Gallipoli campaign took place, and having one of the two straits seperating Europe and Asia… The ancient city of Assos, in which the titans of philosophy have lived, is a land filled with inspiration, where Aeneas, who pioneered the foundation of Rome, has grew up.
