Çanakkale History The province of Canakkale    lies on both sides of the Dardanelles which    connects the Sea of Marmara to the Aegean    Sea. Its shores touch both Europe (with the    Gelibolu Peninsula) and there are regular    ferries between the two sides.

The Canakkale Marina , besides those of Karabiga, Gelibolu, Bozcaada and Kucukkuyu, hosts the colorful yachts which pass through the strait and make a stopover at Canakkale, to see this historical and mythological rich area, homeland of many widely known legends. There is a new pier built in Kepez district of Canakkale, with bulk, general, passenger, Ro-Ro, warehouse and open storage facilities. It is the nearest passenoger terminal to Troy for cruise ships.
