Canakkale Ili Travel Forum

Hi All!
Coming across Turkey by kayak last year I only made it to Gazikoy near Tekirdag. I will be completing my trip this year but need some help with possible accommodations. There are places to stay in Sarkoy, I guess, and I know there are in Gelibolu and Ecebat but what about Ulgarderekoyu or Kazanagzi? I'm not looking for anything fancy, just a room or even a campground would do. Otherwise I will have to rough camp. Anyone with any ideas? Thanks in advance.

What is the best way of travelling to Bozcaada?

WE WILL ARRIVE TO CANAKKALE BY CAR AND WE WANT TO CROSS THE DARDANELO BY BOAT. DOES ANYBODY KNOW A SITE WHERE WE CAN FIND OUT ABOUT TIMETABLES AND PRICES?? THANK U!!

any bus i can take?
or i need take a bus to (somewhere) then chance the bus to Cannakkale?

If i want visit the Troy i find hotel in Cannakkale or in Troy is better?

Thanks so much!!!!

Hi everyone,
I am planning a short stay in Behramkale after midSeptember and then go down more South as far as probably Kusadasi. Will the sea still be warm enough for swimming and snorkeling? My plans are flexible and can be changed if I get a good advise here. Previously I have visited Mediterrian islands untill midOctober and it was ok, however, the coast might be different. Looking forward to hear from experts!

the half day trip to gallipoli from cannakkal cost 60 dollars. so i thought i would get a early ferry across to Eceabat (2dollars )then bus to kabatepe( one dollar) and walk to anzac cove on a early start . after catching the 8 am ferry and arriving at 8.30 in Eceabat. the Eceabat bus was waiting so i leapt aboard eager to begin.
2 hours later i was still waiting for the bus to leave.there were 3 other passengers aboard.so we waited for the 9 am ferry to leave cannakele. at 9.30 am it arrived and still not enough passengers so we waited for the next ferry. by this time it was too late to travel so i jumped aboard and went back. is there any other way of getting to anzac cove cheaply?

Hi!
I may possibly have one extra day on arriving in Canakkale and before returning to Istanbul. Is it possible to go to Cappadocia, see something, and return to Canakkale in one day? I heard there is a night bus. How long does it take?
Thanks,
Beth

Hi!
After crossing the sea of Marmara by kayak this fall I will pass Canakkale before my final day to the lighthouse at Kum Burnu near the ruins of Achilleion. My problem is how to get back to Istanbul. I know there is a plane from Canakkale but is there a bus or train? Is there some kind of transportation from somewhere near the lighthouse to Canakkale?
Thanks

Hi all,
I am planning a trip to Bozcaada.It has been so long since I last been there.Can you recommend a place (relible for a female) to stay?
Thanks a lot

I am visiting Canakkale, Turkey and would like to know what there is to do. Also, I have heard that one can take a camel ride. Is this true and do they spit at you for pulling their tails? In all honestly, what is there to do?

Are there English speaking tour guides available for hire at the entrance of the Troy archeological site? We will be arriving by car. I've read that the site is confusing without a guide to explain what you are seeing.

I want to know what a taxi fare should cost from the ferry terminal on Gokceada Island to the main village, also known as Gokceada.

I'm told that the taxi drivers really try and rip you off for the ride from ferry to town (about 7 or 8km).

thanks

Every year my friend and I visit a different battlefield. We have travelled to some fascinating places and made some great friends. In 2007 we want to spend a week in Gallipoli. We prefer to travel independently. How easy is for two UK nationals top get to the peninsula, find a hotel and travel around? Is car hire feasible? Any advice would be appreciated.

Does anyone know if the lighthouses of Imroz and Bozcaada were shelled during World War One?

pls help.
Is there any ferry that leaves Canakkale for Gokceada in the morning? Do you have any ideea of timetable this time of the year?

Hi!

I'm a VT member from Romania and I'll have a trip through Turkey during the
month of August.
We'll be traveling by car from Cannakale to Kusadasi, on the coast.
Would be very much appreciated if someone could reccomend any places on the way that
would worth a quick stop. Places such historical sites, traditional villages,
or sight-view places.
Also, we'll be staying in Kusadasi for 7 days and we're thinking of going around
to some "off the beaten path" special places such isolated beaches, cristal
clear water places for snorkeling, in other words that kind of nice places that
not everybody is aware of.
We are young (around 33) and looking after getting the best out of this trip.
In return I can provide similar information from Romania.
Also, we might consider paying a guide, but please notice that we are not rich
or extravagant people.

Thank you in advance,

Tibi

Hi, I'll be traveling by car through Cannakale in August on the way to Kusadasi. I'm looking for one night stay in Cannakale on August 20. Could anyone reccomend any nice and clean place to stay for 4 adults over the night within the area? Sea shore view would be perfect.

Thanks in advance,

Tibi

I would just like some opinions about what is the best way to experience ANZAC day at Gallipoli? I am Australian and don't want to spend much time in Turkey as I have other places I need to go during my shortish holiday but would like to make it to Gallipoli. Some tours say that camping out at the dawn service site is the way to go - others seems to arrive there early morning (eg 2am). Any thoughts on this? I also don't wan to spend too much money. Thanks in advance

My friend and I are headed to Turkey for Anzac day, and plan to do a little more than that as well. We've looked at various tours, but would prefer to go independantly. Does anyone know of a good bus / train deal that gives you a weeks travel for fairly cheap? It would have to be able to get us to Gallipoli and around that area for that day. Fez looked decent, but starts too late. We land in Istanbul on the 21st of April. Help! Also, anyone who can recommend good travel spots, it's be appreciated! Thanks a lot!

Best way of getting from south of turkey to Gallipoli area?
