Çanakkale Tourist Map With Attractions Visiting Places



Çanakkale is a city located in the northwest Anatolia on the narrowest shore of the Bosphorus. The province of Troy is located in the province of Canakkale, just like Istanbul has both European and Asian lands. Transportation between the two continents is provided by ferries.
Çanakkale is also the end point of the annual swimming competitions. The origin of this organization came from the British poet Lord Byron who performed this swim in 1810, following the story of the legendary swimmer Leander. The "wooden horse" in the Trojan movie is still on display at the city's coast.
Etymology
Çanakkale's current location is called Kale-i Sultaniye in the 19th century and this name was recorded as the official name of the city in 1890. Çanakkale served as an important castle during Ottoman times and the name of Kale-i Sultaniye (Ottoman Turkish: قلعة سلطانيه) or today's Turkish and Sultaniye Castle is a proof of this function. Developing pottery since the end of the 17th century, the city has made a reputation in this regard. Even this time, a traveler was influenced by the quality of the ceramics made and compared with the ceramics made in the city of Delft in the Netherlands, which gave the city the name of Çanak castle. The Greek name of Çanakkale is Δαρδανέλλια or Dardanellia, which was later translated into English as Dardanelles. From the 1920s, the British started calling Çanakkale Chanak or Kale Sultanie.

history
The remains of Troy from ancient times are within the provincial borders. The first settlement in the region dates back to the Copper Age of 6000 years ago. But in this period, little is known about the identity of the city and the characteristics of the living people. According to the excavations and various studies, the first permanent settlement in the region was found around Kumtepe. The Kumtepe mound dates back to 4,800 - 4,000 BC and has several layers of settlement. Excavations in the region were first discovered in 1934 by J.L. Caskey and J. Sperling.

Persian sovereignty began in the region in the middle of the 6th century. Darius and Xerxes, one of the important emperors of Persia, saw the region as a strategic point and aimed to keep it in their hands. According to the Greek historian Herodotus, Xerxes was the first bridge to cross Europe on the Dardanelles. In 386 BC, the Persians strengthened their domination in the region as a result of the King's peace between the Spartans and the Persians. In 334 BC Alexander the Great of Macedonia wanted to take this region from the Persians. For this purpose, the two armies crossed the Dardanelles and in the Kocabaş Stream (Granikos) near Karabiga, the Persians were forced to withdraw from the region, leaving the region under the rule of Alexander the Great. However, upon the sudden death of Alexander, Antigonos, one of the famous commanders of the region, began to rule. He ruled for a long time, Celtic origin Galatians from the Balkans, settled in the region. In 133 BC, King of Pergamum III.

Emperor Justinian built a fortress to control the Bosphorus in the modern Sestos area near Eceabat. The first Turkish domination in the region started with the expeditions of Çaka Bey, the famous naval commander at the end of the 11th century. Afterwards, the Turkish rule continued with the Karesi Principality, and in 1361, when the principality joined the Ottoman Empire without war, an Ottoman period began in the region that would last for approximately 6 centuries.

Ottoman period
The old center of the province is Biga and the name and center of the province was changed to Çanakkale due to the victories gained during the Çanakkale Wars during the Republican period. The name of the province originates from the very developed pottery craft in the region. When the pottery became synonymous with Kale-i Sultaniye, which became two symbols of the city, the city began to be called "Çanakkale". In 1452, Sultan Mehmet the Conqueror built the Castle of Kilitbahir in the village of Kilitbahir, the narrowest part of the Bosphorus in order to prevent the aid of the Papal State to Byzantium and to strengthen the control of the Dardanelles.
