Karagozler, Fevzi Çakmak Cd. No:49, 48300 Fethiye/Muğla, Türkiye
Canakkale is the ideal base for exploring two of Turkey’s most iconic historical sites—Gallipoli and the ancient city of Troy. Just a short drive from both, the city offers a convenient and comfortable stopover for history buffs and culture seekers alike.
Set on the Aegean coast, Canakkale is more than just a launchpad. With its scenic waterfront, relaxed atmosphere, and friendly cafés, it’s a pleasant place to unwind after a day of battlefield tours or archaeological sightseeing.
This coastal hub fits perfectly into a broader travel route—pair it with Istanbul, Gallipoli, and Troy before heading south to explore Pergamon, Ephesus, and Pamukkale. With a range of quality accommodations available, Canakkale offers a smooth and stress-free stay while you soak in the region’s deep history.

Grand Anzac Hotel enjoys a central location in Canakkale, close to the ferry port and major tourist attractions. Breakfast is included, and the bilingual reception staff are ready to provide helpful travel advice.

Canakkale Bogaz Hotel offers comfortable, modern accommodation with easy access to the Dardanelles Strait, the ferry terminal, and the city’s key historical sites—ideal for both leisure and transit travelers.

Canak Hotel is a centrally located stay in Canakkale, just steps from the ferry terminal and major attractions. It offers comfortable rooms, friendly service, and easy access to the Gallipoli Peninsula and ancient Troy.

Where to Stay in Eceabat: Closest Access to Gallipoli
Eceabat, located on the eastern shore of the Gallipoli Peninsula, is the closest town to the World War I battlefields. Just across the Dardanelles lies the larger city of Canakkale, but for those who want to be right near the historic sites, Eceabat is the better base.
Quieter and more convenient than Canakkale, Eceabat offers easy access to ANZAC Cove, Lone Pine, and other key memorials. If you’re here to explore the Gallipoli campaign in depth, staying in Eceabat saves time and offers a more peaceful setting. The accommodation options here are comfortable, reliable, and well-suited for a stress-free visit.
