The city of Çanakkale lends its name to the straits that connect the sea of Marmara to the Aegean and whose shores touch both Europe and Asia . Passenger and car ferries run daily between Çanakkale on the Asian side and Eceabat and Kilitbahir on the European side . Colorful yachts on their way to and from the Marmara and Aegean seas make stopovers at the well equipped Çanakkale marina allowing tourists more time in this area . Hotels , restaurants and cafes along the promenade offer a place to enjoy the comings and goings of the harbour and views of Kilitbahir Fortress , in the distance , which is illuminated at night .
In 1451 Fatih Sultan Mehmet , who later conquered İstanbul built a fortress on the European side at Kilitbahir and one at Çimenlik on the Asia side , to control the passage of ships through the narrow ( 1200 metres ) straits . The Çimenlik Fortress today is used as a Military Museum im memory of the Çanakkale Battle of World War I.
To honour the soldiers who gave their lives at Gelibolu , in Çanakkale province , this peninsula is now a national park of remembrance . There are memorial monuments in surroundings of natural beauty .
Truva ( Troy ) - Homer in the liad immortalized Truva ( Troy ) , with the stories of King Priam , Hector , Paris and the beautiful Helen who were from this city .
