Çanakkale Merkez

Leaving Istanbul behind today we start our journey with Intrepid Travel! 🚌✨
​We made our way south to Çanakkale, driving via the Gallipoli Peninsula and catching breathtaking views of the Dardanelles Strait.
It was a moving and personal stop for Bob, who took time to reflect on his grandfather’s history here.
​On April 25, 1915, his grandfather landed at ANZAC Cove—and remarkably survived eight months of grueling trench warfare before being evacuated and transferred to the Western Front. Standing on the very ground where it all happened made history feel incredibly real and humbling.
​An unforgettable start to this trip. Onward to Çanakkale where we enjoyed a delicious seafood meal and wondered around the town seeing young and old people playing games and drinking coffee late into the night 🇹🇷❤️Read more
