Saat Kulesi Meydani 8, (Clock Tower Square) Canakkale, Turkish Aegean Coast, Turkey, 17100, 212-225-4204
The Dardanelles are a beautiful passage of water and still mostly rural farmland. We took the bus from Selcuk to Canakkale where we would stay for our last leg of our Turkey Unplugged tour before returning to Istanbul. Before we left Selcuk, I had bagged lunch which turned out to be the BEST Tavuk Durum I have ever tasted and it comes with the little green chilly peppers too. Right across from Jimmy's Place with the blue tablecloths, that's the place to go and order one or two or more! Yum! B...
Canakkale, Turkey big8littleWednesday 16th November Feeling much better this morning. An excellent breakfast and then packed my bags. I had not fully decided where to head but caught the bus to Çanakkale by way of Edremit. Just as we were about to pull away a young American couple turned up, Michael and Jane from San Diego. He a teacher and she an independent graphics designer. Very nice people. Married for just a year but now taking seven months off to travel. The countryside from Ayvalik to Çanakkale was different to ...

Canakkale, Turkey gecturk... the package... only to be told they did not actually offer a service with the company they had handed me the brochure for... but they would be more then happy to help me package a tour, for the small price of 160 Euro (whilst attempting to persuade me that travelling solo here was nigh on impossible).<br><br>Well, I am now in Gallipoli (travelling solo) and so far the cost of the journey has been:<br ...
Gallipoli, Canakkale, Turkey chrishailstone... is a major producer; you may want to veer off at a sign for Sarap Evi (wine house) for a leisurely tasting. The creatively named Sarap Evi, in Ürgüp, has wine tastings in the evenings, but it’s just as fun to drive up to any local producer and fall into the dance of local hospitality.<br><br>Natural Happenings<br><br>The erosion that carves out this fascinating topography began over 60 million years ago and can be seen in various stages even today ...
Canakkale, Turkey gecturk... or at least I know he had an easier time understanding Afrikkans, because he had trouble following our tour guides at Troy and Pergamun. <br><br>The nursing teacher from Milwaukee would not stop talking about how she was a completely independent world traveler and that she never ever did tours or anything like Fez. She had the distinction of putting down the Fez bus as "Always an hour late" in front of Hayden before she realized he was our guide, waiting for the ...
Eceabat, Çanakkale Province, Turkey jimmyandkristen... young couple from Vancouver who had decided to sell everything, pack up, head out, and tour the world for a year! We chatted about the places they had seen, and planned to visit during the last half of their grand adventure. Tara and Martin ended up at our Yellow Rose Pension and joined us for supper. Before we left the<br>next day, we exchanged travel blog sites, then wished them well on their trip.<br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><b r>
Canakkale, Turkish Aegean Coast, Turkey noalarmclocks... saw the remains of the trenches (sometimes only 10 meters from the enemy trenches) and heard some great stories of what went on: enemy troops swapping food by throwing it to the other trenches; a Turk rescuing a stranded Anzac and carrying him back to the Anzac trenches for medical treatment; Ataturk commanding the 57th Turkish battalion to their deaths. Ataturk's memorial message to the fallen Anzac's families was also ...
Gallipoli, Canakkale, Turkey laura-and-craig... I was worried Tom was going to melt in the heat given his porr volume to surface area ratio for such conditions so we finished the tour earlier than planned! <br><br>We eventually arrived into Canakkale at about 6pm and were shown to our hotel. The other couples were shown to their backpacker digs around the corner. We settled in, sorted out air-con issues and went for a stroll along the harbour before going back to the backpacker hostel to watch a new ANZAC documentary ...
