Gallipoli

Aside from the 1915 battlefields, why not visit the new Gelibolu Milli Park visitors centre where there are excellent displays relating to the natural history of the peninsula. You can also visit the ancient fortress of Kilitbahir south of Eceabat or take a ferry across the Straits to Asia; from Çanakkale, drive to what is reputed to be the site of Ancient Troy signposted Troia about 30 kilometres to the south. The ruins of the legendary city - complete with reconstructed wooden horse - are open to the public.
