Çanakkale Boğazı

The Çanakkale Strait (Dardanelles) is one of the world's most historically loaded waterways, stretching 61 km long and as little as 1.2 km wide — the narrowest point between the Aegean and the Sea of Marmara. You anchor off here surrounded by the weight of ancient battles, from the Persian Wars to Gallipoli, with the ruined fortresses of Kilitbahir and Çimenlik watching from both shores. Traffic through the strait runs on a scheduled suspension system, so time your passage carefully.
