Canakkale is home to several historic monuments, beautiful streets and a plethora of amazing restaurants. It is also just a short ferry ride away from the ruins of ancient Troy! The best part is that Canakkale is only a 6.5 hour drive from Istanbul, making it a great stop-over destination for those traveling around the Marmara Region.
Canakkale's charm lies in its location. Strolling along the waterfront promenade reveals beautiful views and a much-appreciated sea breeze. David makes a quick stop at the Kale Fortress, which is open to the public and features rows upon rows of antique canons and other military memorabilia. Near the Castle is an enormous reproduction of the Trojan Horse. It was used as a prop in the 2004 movie “Troy featuring Brad Pitt. After filming, it was donated to the city of Canakkale and has been on public display ever since.
Now for the food...After an eventful first day exploring Canakkale, David goes to a popular seafood restaurant in town, Yalova Situated in the old fish market, Restaurant Yalova serves up fresh local seafood with a beautiful view of the Dardenelles Strait. Make sure you reserve a table on the rooftop to enjoy the water views with your meal.
The next day, David stops by Kavala for a casual seafood meal in this taverna-style restaurant. Kavala is located right along the main pedestrian boulevard near the ferry station. Like many local eateries, Kavala serves fresh local seafood along with traditional Turkish dishes. Another popular restaurant in town is Hangover Cafe Bar, which is always packed! Hangover serves up casual food and has a great ambiance, especially for 20 and 30-somethings. It features both indoor and outdoor dining. The terrace is especially charming if you plan to enjoy Canakkale’s balmy nights.

EXPLORING IZMIR (TURKEY), top sites, what to see (& HOW I FOUND OUT I AM AN AMAZON)
Subscribe here: - Let's go visit Izmir which is a city on Turkey’s Aegean coast. Known as Smyrna in antiquity, it was founded by the Greeks, taken over by the Romans and rebuilt by Alexander the Great before becoming part of the Ottoman Empire in the 15th century. Today, its expansive archaeological sites include the Roman Agora of Smyrna, now an open-air museum. The hilltop Kadifekale, or Velvet Castle, built during Alexander’s reign, overlooks the city.
During the video you will see me presenting the official brochure (given to all the tourists of the city) describing how the area was first occupied by the AMAZONS(!!), instead of the GREEKS! Since I was born in Greece, according to the Turkish tourist office in Izmir, I AM AN AMAZON!!!! Hurray!!

Ari Burnu Cemetery, Gallipoli Peninsula, Çanakkale Province, Turkey, Europe
Ari Burnu Cemetery (253 burials) is named after the promontory at the north end of Anzac Cove and was used throughout the occupation. Until 2000, Ari Burnu Cemetery has been the site of the Anzac Day Dawn Service. The cemetery was begun during the campaign. Among the 182 Australian graves are 82 of men from the Australian Light Horse regiments. The first row of graves above the sea wall row A contains mostly soldiers of the 8th Light Horse from Western Victoria. Their date of death tells their story, 7 August 1915, the morning of the charge of the 8th and 10th Light Horse (Western Australia) at the Nek. The men of the 10th lie in rows E and F. In grave E 30 is Sergeant Duncan Bain, 10th Light Horse, who just before the charge was heard ‘calling to his men to get ready and that they would be up on Baby 700’. Another interesting grave is that of Guiseppe Camilleri, Maltese Labour Corps (row J, grave 4). These men, along with British wharf labourers, were brought to Anzac after the August offensive to labour in the rear areas, thus releasing soldiers for work closer to the line. In 1926 and 1927 11 graves from the Kilitbahir Anglo-French Cemetery and three from the Gelibolu Consular Cemetery were concentrated into Ariburnu Cemetery. The cemetery, designed by Sir John Burnet, principal architect of the CWGC cemeteries and memorials on the peninsula, is under the control of the CWGC. It was registered as a cultural heritage Site by the Turkish Ministry of Culture on 14 November, 1980.

Lone Pine Cemetery, Gallipoli Peninsula, Çanakkale Province, Turkey, Europe
Lone Pine Cemetery is a Commonwealth War Graves Commission cemetery dating from World War I in the former Anzac sector of the Gallipoli Peninsula, Turkey and the location of the Lone Pine Memorial, one of five memorials on the peninsula which commemorate servicemen of the former British Empire killed in the campaign but who have no known grave. The battles at Gallipoli, some of whose participating soldiers are buried at this cemetery, was an eight-month campaign fought by Commonwealth and French forces against Ottoman Empire forces to force the Ottoman Empire out of the war. The campaign started with an attempt to force the Dardanelles using naval power, but when this failed an invasion of the peninsula was launched to assist a renewed naval assault. The invasion was unsuccessful and the allies withdrew. The main landings were in April 1915, with primarily British and French troops landing at the tip of the peninsula around Cape Helles and Australian and New Zealand (ANZAC) troops landing a few miles north on the west coast. Lone Pine was a plateau 120 metres above sea level in the southern part of the Anzac sector which was captured on the morning of the landings, 25 April 1915, and abandoned that evening, but recaptured the following day only to be given up to the Turkish forces again that evening. The Turks retained it for the next three months, calling it Kanli Sirt (Bloody Ridge). The position was recaptured by the Anzac troops on 6 August following extensive preparations (which included the digging of mines underneath it) during the Battle of Lone Pine, and held until the evacuation of the sector in December 1915. The cemetery was constructed during the campaign and at the end of it held 46 graves. It was greatly enlarged after the Armistice by moving isolated graves into it and by consolidating other smaller cemeteries in the area, such as Brown's Dip North and South Cemeteries. The Lone Pine Memorial commemorates 4,934 Australian and New Zealand troops killed in the sector but who have no known grave. In addition special memorials commemorate 182 Australian and 1 British soldier thought to be buried in the cemetery but whose graves have not been identified. The Anzac troops renamed the plateau, originally Plateau 400, Lonesome Pine after the single Aleppo pine tree on the plateau, and a popular song published in 1913, The Trail of the Lonesome Pine, and this name was shortened to Lone Pine. There had originally been several trees but all but one had been cut down by Turkish troops to provide wood for covering trenches. The tree was obliterated during the fighting, but at least two Australian soldiers took cones from it back to Australia, from which numerous commemorative trees have since been produced. A single pine tree was planted in the cemetery during its landscaping and enlargement in the 1920s. It is sometimes said to be a descendent of the original tree but this is not so, since it is a different species, a stone pine.
