On the North West coast
of Turkey, sits the Dardanelles straits and within that is the famous town of
Canakkale. It belongs to both Asia and Europe but that is not the reason for
its popularity.

Most people visit because of two connections; it is the closest town to the ancient and historical site of Troy. It is also sadly, where the battle of Gallipoli took place and over 50,000 men lost their lives.
Canakkale is 7 hours drive away from Istanbul. Thus a day trip might be very tiring due to long drive so I definetely recommend a night stay in Gallipoli or Canakkale.
