The Çanakkale seafront, with the wooden horse from the 2004 film Troy

Çanakkale, pronounced /tʃa'nakale/, is a town and seaport in Turkey, in Çanakkale Province, on the southern (Asiatic) coast of the Dardanelles (or Hellespont). Çanakkale is the second province (first one is Istanbul) in Turkey that has lands on two different continents (Europe and Asia). There are ferries to cross to the northern (European) side of the strait. Çanakkale is the nearest major town to the site of ancient Troy. The "wooden horse" from the recent movie Troy is exhibited on the seafront. Çanakkale was originally an Ottoman fortress called Kale-i Sultaniye and it later became known for its pottery, the origin of its current name (Turkish: çanak meaning "pot," and kale meaning "fortress").
